DS1 wants to know the names of the reindeer. Apparently his reception teacher knows all their names. I thought there were 7, but he informs me there are 8 and one of them is called Cupid!?
Can anyone help me?

we say donner not donder ( donner und blitzen , german for thunder and lightning!) -but I think Donder is the dutch equivalent.

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
Would have put the whole poem but there are about 20 verses!

There were 8 reindeer in Clement C Moore's poem ' The night before Christmas'.
Rudolf is just interloper :laughing:

I always thought that Santa only uses Rudolph on foggy Chritmas Eves.
