Do You Know the Answer?

Can you name Santa’s eight original reindeer?

Names of Santa's original reindeer:

Dasher
Dancer
Prancer
Vixen
Comet
Cupid
Donner (a/k/a Donder)
Blitzen

Although he's a good friend of Santa's, Rudolph was not one of the original reindeer. He came later with the popular Christmas song, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." You can read about the reindeer in the famous Christmas story, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
