About This Item

Comet Christmas Reindeer Travel Bug

COMET is one of Santa Claus' reindeer in the team of flying reindeer known to pull the sleigh of Santa Claus and help him deliver Christmas gifts.  The commonly cited names of the reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, COMET, Cupid, Donder (or Donner) and Blitzen (or Blixem).  They are based on those used in the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and the basis of reindeer's popularity as Christmas symbols.

The 1823 poem by Clement C. Moore, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas" or "Twas the NIght Before Christmas") is largely credited for the contemporary Christmas lore that includes the eight flying reindeer and their names.

The relevant segment of the poem reads:

when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
with a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name:
"Now, Dasher!  Now, Dancer!  Now, Prancer, and Vixen!
"On, Comet!  On, Cupid!  On, Dunder and Blixem!

"To the top of the porch!  to the top of the wall!
"Now dash away!  dash away!  dash away all!"

This TB has been missing for over a year so I am giving it a new life.  It has been replaced with a wooden tag with the same tracking number and a photo tag of the original TB to enable it to travel again.
