Santa Claus's reindeer
Santa Claus's reindeer form an imaginary team of flying reindeer traditionally held to pull the sleigh of Santa Claus and help him deliver Christmas gifts. The commonly cited names of the reindeer are ''Dasher'', ''Dancer'', ''Prancer'', ''Vixen'', ''Comet'', ''Cupid'', '' Donner'', and ''Blitzen''. They are based on those used in the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (commonly called "The Night Before Christmas"), which is arguably the basis of reindeer's popularity.
The enduring popularity of the Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has led to ''Rudolph'' often joining the list.
== List of reindeer ==
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 ''Blitzen'' and ''Blixen''), with Rudolph being a 20th-century inclusion.
The names of Dunder and Blixem derive from Germanic words for thunder and lightning, respectively.
