2. Legend has it that nine reindeer pull the sleigh for Santa Claus, and eight reindeer pull it. They are called Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
According to legend, Santa Claus has 20,000 reindeer. They live together on Mount Earl in the Arctic Circle. Now Santa Claus listens to the wishes of every child on this mountain and then makes Christmas presents. On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will choose these 9 deer among 20,000 deer to pull sleds, fly to the chimneys of families, and climb down from the chimneys to give gifts to families. Santa Claus will put presents in socks beside the children's beds. American parents will also tell their children that if you are obedient all year, Santa Claus will give you a sock full of gifts.
4. The prototype of Christmas reindeer is real reindeer. Its tail is very short, and the horns on its head have complicated forks. Both the female deer and the male deer have such horns. Therefore, except Rudolph with a red nose, the reindeer pulled by Santa Claus is easier to identify. All the other deer look similar.
