I tried to wind him up by saying, "But reindeer don't have paws, they have hooves!".
Unexpectedly, instead of giving me a hard time for my misunderstanding of the words or for a terrible joke, E5N1 defended the song on the basis of poetic license (he didn't use those exact words) and it became clear that that is exactly how he had understood the words.
So now, we're picturing the reindeer up on the roof padding around on their paws.
They're less likely to wake us that way I suppose.

my dad thinks it's pause but it's paws
