You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen. You know his name is Donder not Donner. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen. Dasher is simply fastest in the short run. He troubled me with many a chase when I first worked to put the reindeer in harness. Prancer was the most beautiful with his flowing white mane. And he walked as if he knew it. Vixen was spirited and spritely although she can be fierce with her nipping bit putting any of my team in place if they crossed her. Comet I named because he would explode through the herd, ramming and throwing any challengers with his magnificent antlers. Cupid because he was so obviously in love with Vixen, and any other female reindeer he happened across for that matter. And of course Donder and Blitzen which means thunder and lightning because they were inseparable and also because they were the power that pulled the sleigh. What does your name mean? I bet there is a story or meaning that makes it special just like you. Merry Christmas. (Sing rudolf the red nosed reindeer.)
