I'm busy I have to go & feed Santa's reindeers
Did you know
The legend of Santa's reindeer was created in a famous poem by Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863). Clement was the son of the bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York. The poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" was written as a Christmas gift for his children in 1822. The poem is currently better known by the title "The Night Before Christmas" from its famous opening line.
Santa has eight reindeer, who magically pull his sleigh through the sky. They are named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen.
Another, perhaps now more famous, reindeer used by Santa on foggy nights is Rudolf. The story of Rudolf the red-nosed Reindeer was created by Robert L May in 1939, in a give-away booklet for the Montgomery Ward department stores chain of Chicago where he worked. Rudolf the red-nosed Reindeer was then made famouse by the song recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.
That was todays History lesson Boys & Girls, I'm in shock as Rudolf was not part of Santas magically sleigh, whats next are they going to say that Santa isn't real
Have a good one all
