[lynnemajor]

What are the names of the nine reindeers that santa has.

[stoo_pid]

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen, Rudolph

[lyall]

all are correct except the type error on Donder which should read Donner

[stoo_pid]

Rudolf is wrong as he was a complete American fabrication.

What about Olive. . . the other reindeer. . ?!

[stoo_pid]

Olive is actually a dog but steps in for Santa when Blitzen gets hurt.

Santa only started out with 8 reindeer but discovered Rudolph while delivering presents on that fateful foggy Xmas Eve.  Rudolph (very nearly called Rollo, then Reginald) joined the team in 1939 thanks to Robert L May.

But stoo_pid, in the song about Rudolph, it goes "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names"!

:o)

[stoo_pid]

lol!  : - )
