We all know the words from the start of the beloved Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer": 'you know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet, Cupid , Donner and Blitzen..." We sing their names happily at Yuletide every year, but do we really know where the origins of their names came from?
That's right, Thunder and Lightning! Why did Santa name these whimsical creatures after some of nature's most powerful Summer displays? That's to show that the reindeer leading his pack of Christmas animals are absolutely fearless! So when anyone, especially children ask why their names are that way, you can truthfully say that Santa wanted to show that like the mighty storms of summer, nothing can stop his reindeer from helping deliver gifts and honor the birthday of baby Jesus.
