When Clement C. Moore originally published "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (aka "The Night Before Christmas") anonymously in 1823, it used "Dunder and Blixem." Twocollections from 1840 use "Donder and Blixen." When Moore republished it in a collection of his poetry in 1844, he went with "Donder and Blitzen" (here's that version written in his own hand as a gift to a friend in 1860.) So, short answer? It's only modern, public domain reprints that have changed it to "Donner."
Woohoo! Just thought I'd point out that yay, I did it with 1:23 left! I had to do it a couple of times because of various typos but I thought I'd try and beat your times. Yip Yip! 1:23 left guys, come on, that's the time to beat! ;)
Rudolph isn't one of the ORIGANAL reindeer. Rodulph was part of a different story, and THAT story had Rodulph, but Rodulph isn't one of the ORIGANALLL reindeer (Again).
I know there are plenty of joking comments calling for Olive, but she did have her own Christmas Special. As no particular source is cited, i feel like she really ought to be included.
Hey, what about Oliv......juuuust kidding. Got 'em all. Full disclosure, though: an uncle on my mother's side is part llama, and my great-great-great-grandfather was full-blooded moose, so I probably had a bit of an unfair advantage.
.....Definitely in the Christmas spirit right now!! :D (14 days to go!)
You know anyone can lie in these comments

🎶Comet, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen🎶
🎶But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?🎶
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names,"
That is honestly all I know besides what you put down.
Prancer the... normal nosed reindeer
Had a very... normal nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say "Yup, that's a nose"
All of the other reindeer
Respected him for meeting the expectations of what a normal reindeer should be like!!
They always let little Prancer
Play on his... reindeer bike!!
