We pronounce that 'Dawn-agh' where I come from

Three things. First, it is Donder. Second, caribou is delicious. Third, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

What about Olive?

You know Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names....

I know, old (and corny) joke but I am waiting for the family to get up for Christmas Morning and have nothing better to do.

Merry Christmas all!

All up, wrapping paper frenzy, excitement then the crash...everyone is back in bed save me

[mikesride]

Donner. As in Donner und Blitzen River. Nice little desert stream in SE Oregon. Name is German (or similar) for thunder and lightning.

Merry Christmas!

Oops. Didn't know the "rein" meant controlled.

[DARISC]

"rein:
a strap fastened to a bit by which a rider or driver controls an animal —usually used in plural"

Merry Christmas!

[VaSteve]

Doner....like the kabob.

[rattlsnak]

I can't believe this is being questioned... That's like asking how to spell reauxdoff..
