How many of Santa's reindeer can you name without looking?


I got to six.

I only got five.  I used to know The Night Before Christmas off by heart and all of them.  Old age is catching up on me.
The vote for Brexit was a vote to take back what we hadn't lost in order to lose what we actually have.

No, Rudolph was included, the other one began with a P.  I never did know them all in the first place.  Only have a vague memory of them being named in Disney films.

Rudolph is quite modern I think and not in the poem but I added him in.  I had to write them down last night when I was trying to remember them and my list comprised:

Donner
Blitzen
Rudolph
Prancer
Dancer

That sounds right :) Do you remember if there were six or eight and if so who are the other two I wonder.

I'd think eight but I'll have to check now..Yes eight, including the one that I'd never have remembered and nine if one includes Rudolph.

Oh heck.  All that is going round and round my head is:

When out on the lawn there came such a clatter
Something, something, something what was the matter.

and I can't get to the verse with the names in.  I think that's as far as I can get.
