Which of Santa's reindeer is your favorite?

[LadyBecks]

Did you know that the names of Santa's reindeer have intriguing connections to mythology and ancient cultures?

Prancer is a term that means fiery horse and could possibly echoe Norse mythological tales of Svadilfari, a fiery stallion.

Dasher a term that describes running could represent Santa's speedy delivery service, but also could be inspired by Norse mythology's Huginn, the raven of thought. It raced Thyalfi in an illusion filled with wisdom and lesson

Cupid is a greek deity that represents the trouble with infatuation and attraction. In the tales this usually caused trouble for the one who works for, similarly to times when Loki got Thor, Idunn and others in trouble.

Donner shares its Germanic name with Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

Blitzen means lightning and represents Mjolnir, Thor's mighty hammer, a symbol of protection and strength.

Comet may pay tribute to the magical sleigh ride across the skies.

Vixen evokes the cunning and seductive qualities of Mrs. Claus/ Frau Wotan and the Norse goddess Frigg.

I like Donner because he’s Rudolph’s father (though I’ve also heard Comet in some versions). I’ve never thought of Mrs. Claus as seductive and Frigg was a mother goddess, but I see your point.

Dasher, you won't get your Christmas presents on time without him because Santa will be late!
