What kind of weather falls from the sky when Santa leads his flying team, but leaves no water behind?
Reindeer
This riddle plays on the homophones 'rain' (water falling from clouds) and 'rein' (the leather straps used to guide Santa's sleigh pullers). When you combine 'rein' with 'deer,' you get Santa's trusty flying animals who rule the Christmas winter skies.
