One of Santa's team is composed of eight members: CUPID (5 letters), VIXEN (5 letters), ELF (3 letters), Prancer (7 letters), DANCER (6 letters), Donner (6 letters), BLITZEN (7 letters), and Dasher (6 letters). Each of these characters are reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. CUPID, VIXEN, DANCER, Donner, BLITZEN, and Dasher are all named after the Germanic words for 'LIGHTNING' or 'THUNDER'. ELF is a small creature from folklore that helps Santa make toys in his workshop. Prancer and COMET are two more reindeer that help Santa deliver presents to children around the world.
