you knowDasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen;
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen?
well, did you know:
“The famous Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer started life as a poem created by an American advertising executive called Robert May. He was requested to produce a poem that could be given away to children by the Santa Claus employed by Department Stores at Christmas! Working as an Advertising Executive, Robert May had a natural flair with words and was able to compose the Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer poem which was specifically designed to appeal to children. This marketing ploy was a massive success and approximately 2.5 million Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer poems were given away in the first year of its publication! In 1949 the singer Gene Autry recorded a musical version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer composed by Johnny Marks."

Oh my goodness - I've just realised- we'll see them at Youngest's wedding! (Well hopefully not at the actual wedding).
It's officially Sweden but really it's one of the bits of Lapland. And they have reindeer to meet you at the airport or somewhere.
Coo!
