Festive Fun Answers:
– What are the names of Santa’s reindeer?
Rudolf, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Comet, Donner, Vixen and Blitzen
– Under what other names is Santa also known?
St Nicholas, Sinterklass and Odin. Did you know that St Nicolas of Myra would secretly leave gold coins in people’s shoes?

Help him light the way! Did you know that male reindeer shed their antlers in winter? Therefore, Santa’s reindeer are probably females.
