  Excellent list, Scully. However, I think "Donner" (remember the California cannibals?) should actually be "Donder.

  You forgot to mention Bruno, the Brown-nosed Reindeer.

  He is in harness directly behind Rudolph, and he doesn't always stop so well....

  You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
  Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.,
  But do you recall
  The most famous reindeer of all?
  

  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
  Had a very shiny nose,
  And if you ever saw it,
  You could even say it glows.
  All of the other reindeer
  Used to laugh and call him names;
  They never let poor Rudolph
  Join in any reindeer games.
  Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
  Santa came to say:
  Rudolph with your nose so bright,
  Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
  Then how the reindeer loved him
  As they shouted out with glee,
  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
  You'll go down in history."

  I looked it up, to prove I was right. Guess what? I was wrong!!! From a familiar story too.

  "More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name; "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on,Donder, and Blitzen!
  To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

  The Guardian Those who cannot stomach another Christmas of turkey overkill may find the solution harnessed to Santa's sleigh.

  As Rudolph's biggest night of the year approaches, the shelves of Fortnum and Mason in London are being stocked with reindeer products which might appeal to the more adventurous palate.

  Reindeer stew and pt may not have a huge following in Britain yet but the delicacy is already popular winter fayre in other parts of the world.

  Both products are made from reindeer meat, which is farmed by native Sami herdsmen in the arctic region of Sweden. Reindeer has one of the lowest fat contents of any red meat and contains only about 2% fat, according to the manufacturers, Edible.

  Fortnum and Mason, which holds three royal warrants, began selling reindeer pt at 15 a jar and shredded meat stew for 14 around a month ago.

  The store in Piccadilly insisted the launch was not timed to coincide with Christmas when reindeer such as Donner, Blitzen, Prancer and the rest of Santa Claus's team are uppermost in children's minds.

  "We don't consider it a very sensitive product and as far as I know there haven't been any complaints yet.

  "It came out about a month ago but we're likely to sell it beyond Christmas," a spokeswoman said.

  Edible, which has a shop in north London, said it accepted some people would inevitably make the link with Rudolph and company. "I think people should try it and see what they think," a spokesman said.

  "It's all about the image you have of reindeer when you grow up, but in other parts of the world it's treated like beef."

  Earlier this week, in another apparent display of unseasonal behaviour, children at a Christmas carol service in Maidenhead, Berkshire, were left devastated when the vicar told them that Santa Claus was dead.

  The Reverend Lee Rayfield later said that the story, which also explained that reindeer would burst into flames if they had to travel at the speeds necessary to deliver all Santa's presents, was meant as a bit of fun for older children.
