How many reindeer has Santa Claus got?
In traditional lore, Santa Claus's
sleigh is led by eight reindeer: Dasher,
Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder (variously spelled Donder and Donner),
and Blixem (variously spelled Blixen and Blitzen),
with Rudolph being a 20th-century
inclusion.
The names Dunder and Blixem derive from Dutch words for thunder and lightning,
respectively.

Rudolph
the Red Nose Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous
reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it
glows
All of the other
reindeer
Used to laugh and call
him names
They never let poor
Rudolph
Join in any reindeer
games
Then one foggy
Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with
your nose so bright
Won't you guide my
sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer
loved him
And they shouted out
with glee
"Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in
history!"
