[QUOTE=C K Dexter Haven] … right there with superDasher and superDonder ? [/QUOTE] Whilst checking this out (I thought it was Donner, not Donder), I found [this](http://www.pubquizhelp.34sp.com/christmas/reindeer.html). It reckons that the original rhyme was written by Major Henry Livingston, Jr. (1748-1828) in 1807 and called - Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas. BTW, Donner means thunder in German and Donder means thunder in Dutch. ---

Welcome to the Dope, **Becky G., Supervixen**!! It’s considered good form to stroll the halls with a silver tray laden with the finest chocolates. I’m not talking cheap silver, either. And need I mention we’re talking extremely [fine chocolates](http://www.traceyscakes.co.uk/images/chocolate/33_dark_chocolate_curls.jpg). 🙂 Cartooniverse ---

Silver trays of chocolates, yes, but make sure you head first for the Hall of the Mods. Never hurts to suck up now and then. 😃 Oh, and welcome to the Dope! ---
