I think their goal is to have people spend more gems (then are more likely to buy them) - to increase revenue from this game. That's why the timed goals are so short.

I don't know how successful that is going to be for them. Typically applying a lot of pressure to spend doesn't work well. But it does a great job of infuriating your customers and creating PR disasters. Judging by tons of posts here, I would say they're highly successful at that.
So if I buy lichen with gems to upgrade the stables, I'll still end up with no reindeer? I can't even buy one?
Someone is having a right laugh.
I regret spending money on gems and I regret spending time over Christmas trying to complete this goal. I've played this game from the start but I feel so *****ed now I am going to delete.

I had to pay 50 gems for the reindeer!
As someone who sometimes has a very negative voice on the board I don't agree with this. Due to a little stocking up because of knowing what the previous quests were like, I *could* have managed this without gems. I still had to totally destroy all stocked sap and get more but if I had been a bit more patient, I would have completed this without using Gems at all. I only used gems to get the last forever snow because I was one short and couldn't be bothered to wait another 12 hours and speed up collection of my Reindeer. Even after completing this quest I had enough time to do at least three more trades (maybe four).
It was doable with a little forwards planning.

I quickly abandoned this quest. Did not have the time or the desire to spend gems on it. Would have been nice though.
