There's a costume shop down the road from me, and they stand a mannequin outside dressed in a costume. Walking past it today, I thought "the Big Bad Wolf? That's a bit different. Maybe there's a movie or something..."
When I got a bit closer, I saw it had tiny little flappy cloth antlers on top of its head, and realised it's supposed to be a reindeer costume. I've really never seen anything in my life that looks less like a reindeer. It doesn't look terribly like a wolf, either, on close inspection, but I'm sure it must have started life as something completely different and been customised for Christmas shoppers...
