Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.....Ho ho ho

As Rudolph practices flying, to lead for Santa's ride Santa sits and watches him...with Donner by his side Prancer's in the back round, head down and eating snow To fill his belly and ready himself...when Santa says "let's go" Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Cupid Are in the fields, resting in the whey While Vixen and Blitzen are at Santa's house Shining up...Santa's sleigh For a thousand years he's made that trip With his red and white colored robe The same old boots, the same reindeer sleighing On his journeys...around the globe He always sits in the same old place Before it's time to leave On the park bench at Christmas time On the morning...of Christmas eve The Park Bench At Christmas Poetry Contest #3 Sponsored by Sara Kendrick 11/24/2018

A Lovely Christmas poem which excites both the young and the old in preparation for the festive season. Hope Santa gives his reindeer snacks along the way, they must get exhausted! Kind regards, Jennifer.

Outstanding that you remembered the reindeer's names. I only remembered two of them. Google! Slap my Santa's hat and call me Silly. I wish I had thought of that. Good luck in the contest, Charles.
