On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen; now Comet and Cupid and Donner and Biltzen! And, of course, we can’t forget Rudolph! Santa’s reindeer are some of the best-loved holiday characters, and they make lovely Christmas decorations too. Author Clement Moore named Santa’s reindeer in his poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas. Dasher refers to being speedy, while Dancer and Prancer represent grace and elegance. Vixen is the name of a female fox, an animal that is usually fast or swift. Comet is a ball of fire that travels through space at a high rate of speed, and Cupid has wings. Donner and Blitzen are Dutch words for thunder and lightning.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was added to Santa’s crew in 1939 by Robert L. May as part of his job with the Montgomery Ward department store. The tale of Rudolph tells the story of a misfit reindeer that was not accepted by theother eight on Santa’s team. One night, during a heavy snowstorm, Santa discovered that Rudolph’s unique red nose that lit up was perfect for guiding the team through the storm, and Rudolph was asked to lead all the other reindeer as Santa delivered gifts to the world’s children. This beloved story is one reason reindeer are popular Christmas decorations for people of all ages.
