3. • Dasher was born many years ago at the North Pole. He was
named Dasher because he always wanted to race the other
reindeer. Every day he would insist on having a race. This
used to drive the other reindeer crazy.

4. • Dasher knows this Christmas Eve the trip is going to
be a long one. There are more toys than ever
because the children have been so good this year.
• Dasher is in charge of cleaning and waxing Santa’s
sleigh and making sure that all of the directional
radar is working correctly. He has been very busy
doing these very important chores.

5. • Dancer was born at the North Pole many years ago.
Santa named him Dancer because when he was a tiny
reindeer all he wanted to do was dance. He used to
put on a dance recital every night for the other
reindeer. The sound of his hoofs hitting the stage was
like Fred Astaire’s tap shoes. Dancer was so good that
Santa wanted him to go on Broadway, but he refused
because he really, really wanted to pull Santa’s sleigh.

6. • These days Dancer performs nightly at the North
Pole Auditorium for Santa’s elves. He usually has a
sell out crowd, so if you ever plan a visit to the
North Pole, make sure you buy tickets before you
come!

7. • Prancer is in charge of all the fun and activities. His
favorite is hide and seek. The reindeer must be very
careful playing this game in the woods during
summer because it is hunting season then. Last
year Blitzen got shot in the rear end, and it took him
3 months to recover.

8. • Prancer is also in charge of Friday night
movies; he makes large bowls of popcorn for his
friends and always has lots of chocolate for them.

9. • Vixen was born at the North
Pole many years ago. She has
a major crush on Cupid and
hopes one day to marry him.
• Vixen is well known for her
cleanliness. She has to keep
her eyes on the reindeer all
the time, especially when
they are playing. More than
the others, she has to watch
Blitzen because he always
plays football in the mud.

10. • Vixen makes sure that the
reindeer brush their fur and
that their hoofs are polished.
She makes them take a bath
every night, and not to the
reindeer’s delight.
• As you might expect, most of
the reindeer hide from Vixen
because she walks around
with a brush in her hand
always wanting to use it on
them.
• But there is one reindeer
who doesn’t mind and that is
Cupid, because Cupid also
has a major crush on Vixen.

11. • Comet was named after the Comet Blorouis which
appeared in the sky many years ago. The comet was
so bright that it lit up the North Pole at night.
• Comet’s teacher in Reindeer School says he is the
brightest student she has ever taught. He gets
straight A’s in every subject.

12. • He will become the first reindeer to make the Honor Roll.
• He has made his parents and Santa so proud this year.
When he grows up he wants to be a teacher so he can pass
on all of his knowledge.

13. Cupid was born on Valentine’s Day. Santa
decided to call him Cupid because he was
always trying to set up dates for all the
reindeer. Cupid was so eager to find matches
for all his reindeer friends that he started his
own newspaper called "The Cupid Times".

14. Several of these friends help him at the
newspaper. Blitzen works in the office,
Comet prints the newspapers and his old
pal Rudolph delivers them. The papers
cost $.25 and can be found at any store at
the North Pole.

15. • Donder/Donner is in charge of the reindeers eating habits. He
needs to make sure they all stay in shape.
• Donder/Donner starts a training camp every year on Nov. 8 at
which over 200 reindeer try out for a spot on Santa's team.
• Last year Vixen got too heavy during the summer and almost
lost her spot to a rookie. But with hard work at training camp,
she was able to keep her spot on Santa's team.

16. • Donder/Donner runs a tough training camp. Every day
he has the reindeer lift weights for 2 hours, run 50
miles and do 500 push-ups. Donder/Donner started
this training camp back in 1961 because Comet and
Cupid were so out of shape at the end of the summer
that they couldn't pull Santa's sleigh and lost their spots
that year to two other reindeer: Ralph and Rodney. No
one knows about the swap so don't tell.

17. • Blitzen was born at the North Pole. Santa named
him Blitzen because he reminded Santa of himself
when he played football in high school. Santa’s
defense team used to blitz the offense so much
they called them the “Blitzers”!

18. • Well, Blitzen lives up to his name because almost
every Christmas Eve Santa and his sleigh run into a
blizzard and guess what happens? Blitzen takes the
reins and pulls the reindeer through the stormy
weather.

19. • Rudolph was born at the North Pole many years ago. As we
all know, he is the most famous reindeer of all.
• When Rudolph was young he had a very hard time playing
with the other reindeer. None of them would let him join in
any of the reindeer games because of his shiny nose. This
made Rudolph extremely sad. He tried countless things to
keep his nose from glowing but nothing worked.

20. • One Christmas Eve it was so warm that the fog started
to roll in at the North Pole. It was so heavy and thick
you could not see your hand in front of your
face. Santa thought he might have to cancel his
Christmas trip when he had an idea. Maybe he could
use Rudolph’s nose to guide him through the fog.
• So it happened that Rudolph led the team of reindeer
that night and has been there ever since.
