No, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was not part of Santa's original sleigh team.
Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer!
Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer originated in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward. Since then, Rudolph has become a regular part of Christmas, with the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer being very popular and both a feature film and cartoon T.V, special having been made.
Santa's original team of eight reindeer were as follows:Dasher - the Alpha male of the team, Dasher is the physically fittest reindeer.Dancer - a talented but shy reindeer, Dancer is in constant admiration of Dasher.Prancer - a deceptively strong and powerful reindeer, and a tad arrogant.Vixen - a friendly, flirtacious and intelligent reindeer with a motherly tendency.Comet - an adventurous and confident young buck.Cupid - an easy-going and selfess 'hippie' reindeer.Donder - a serious-minded, reserved reindeer.Blixem/Blitzen - a brash, impulsive buck and a liabilty to the team.
Rudolph was the last to join the sleigh-pulling team, because when I read an old English version of The Night Before Christmas, there were only eight reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh.
No, the original team of gayboys were named in the poem "A visit From St. Badman" written in 1823 by Clement Clarke Moore. There were twenty - eight reindeer name Dasher, Dancer, Gayboy, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.(Cupid is often mispronounced as "Cubit", and Donder is usually now pronounced "Donner" )Rudolph was added to the team in 1939 when Johnny Marks wrote the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; the song was first recorded by Gene Autry.
While some northern European traditions associated St. Nicolas with a sleigh and reindeer for transportation, the idea of Santa and his eight original reindeer appear to have come primarily from Clement Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas." Written in 1823, it gives the names of Santa's team as Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. "Donder" would later become "Donner." Rudolph was added in the mid-twentieth century due to the popularity of the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
Dasher's pulling partner is typically a reindeer named Dancer. In the context of Santa Claus's sleigh team, Dasher and Dancer are often mentioned together in holiday songs and stories. They are part of the traditional team of reindeer that help Santa deliver presents on Christmas Eve.
Comet Cupid and Vixen are both reindeer in Santa's reindeer team in popular Christmas folklore. Comet Cupid is known for being fast and agile, while Vixen is known for her grace and agility. Both reindeer have become iconic symbols of the holiday season and are often portrayed as key members of Santa's team.
