You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder 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 would 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.

Santa Claus’s sledgeSanta Claus, also called Santa or in Britain, Father Christmas, is a fat, cheerful old man with a long white beard who brings children their presents on Christmas Eve. Traditionally, he wears a bright red suit, a red hat lined white fur and shiny black boots. Santa is said to live at the North Pole and have a workshop where he and his elves make toys. Santa Claus is also called St Nick and identified with St Nicholas, who lived in the 4th century AD and is the patron saint of children. Before Christmas children write letters to Santa telling him what gifts they would like. They have to behave well, because Santa brings toys to good children. On 24th December, the night before Christmas, children hang stockings (=long socks) at the end of their beds. Santa leaves the North Pole with a sled or sleigh. Santa’s sled is pulled by reindeer called Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph, who know how to fly. They travel through the air stopping on the roof of every house where a child is sleeping. Santa slides down the chimney and leaves big presents under the Christmas trees and small ones in the stockings.
