I would hate to despoil one this way...
reindeer---- e to g + r = derringer

I hope I did this right, if not feel free to ignore.

Aramis, good to see you pass by in capitals. Referendi is a perfect word, though one letter past the word reindeer, which was twosleepy's quest. Well, reindeer is marked and referendi prefollows the word. smile

Can we go from REINDEER to DASHER to DANCER to ... and DONDER and BLITZEN and maybe even to RUDOLF?

And can we do it all before ten more days has elapsed?

I'll give a head start:

REINDEER
drop R to make NEEDIER
drop E DENIER
E --> A RAINED
N --> S RAISED
I --> H DASHER

"Neologism," said I. Right. Looks more like I shoulda said "paleologism."
