how many reindeers pull santa's sleigh

Nine reindeer pull Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and of course, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Each reindeer is named after a unique trait that helps them pull Santa's sleigh through the air: Dasher is known for his speed, Dancer for his grace, and so on. The reindeer work together as a team, pulling the sleigh through the sky with incredible strength and agility.
