A sleigh is a type of vehicle designed for traveling over snow and ice. It typically has runners instead of wheels, allowing it to glide smoothly on winter surfaces. Sleighs can be pulled by animals, such as horses or reindeer, and are often associated with winter activities and festive celebrations. Sleighs come in various styles, from simple wooden designs to more elaborate versions used for recreational purposes. They are commonly used in winter sports and are also popular for holiday events, especially during Christmas when they are linked to the legend of Santa Claus delivering gifts.
