Get those kids some shoes!

This is fantastic. TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a needy child with every pair that it sells retail. Check out this article on CNN...

Citizen Reindeer is working out a plan to plant a tree in Houston's third-ward for every 25 shirts that we sell. We'll keep you posted, but we learned about third-ward activists in Houston that want to bring nature to the community...where it is desperately needed and wanted!

"The new phone books are here...the new phone books are here!!"

-Steve Martin in *The Jerk*

That's kind of the way we are feeling here at Citizen Reindeer today! The new website is here, the new website is here! Launched officially today: 19 September in the A.M.

It's an awesome feeling. Citizen Reindeer was conceived as an idea very nearly exactly one year ago. From name, to concept, to design... And here we are. Soon, there will be an online store (we will not be underselling our retailers - no Reindeer games here, my friends.). But it will give those of you who don't live in cities where Citizen Reindeer gear is sold to get in on the action.

Have an absolutely awesome day!

Oh, and for those of you who need a reminder of how incredibly funny Steve Martin was in the *The Jerk,* and for those of you who have never seen it:

Lions, and Tigers, and Bears... Oh My!

So we hear there is a tiger running loose on Galveston Island. Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough was quoted as saying: ``Turns out there's a tiger, and I understand he's hungry ... so we're staying away from him.''

Good idea.

WEBSITE

The Citizen Reindeer website will be launching next week! Product is already selling, and we are super excited.

More to come. Just wanted to get this post out.
