Please explain with the laws of physics, how it is that Reindeer are somehow able to fly with out any apparent wing structure?

Flight without wings is not an uncommon feature. An example would be the Darling children of London, who are able to fly without wings as well.
The likely case for the physics of flight is the electromagnetic force. In terms of sheer strength, EMF is far greater than the force of gravity. (Think a small magnet picking up a loonie, defeating the whole gravitational force of the Earth.) I suspect that the embedding of certain ionised particles (i.e. "magic dust") will interact with the Earth's electromagnetic field and produce levitation.
Apparently the caribou in question have for the hundreds of years in their lifetime consumed enough of these particles that their thought processes are able to control the orientation of the paramagnetic and diamagnetic properties of the ions to yield the illusion of flight. In reality, they are merely controlling their own translational properties.
There is another explanation involved, but as this is not the religion category, I'll withhold that with motivated self-interest at play.

Santa hammered super stong magnetic horseshoes on their hooves which they use to ride the Earth's magnetic field.

It is very simple. Force of magic exceeds force of gravity.

They eat gassy foods (alfalfa hay) and are jet propelled.

they have rotors
