Out of Season

One of the "glamourous" things about a career in television is working on out of season shows. For instance, today I learned that Donner and Blitzen were not the original names of two of Santa's eight tiny reindeer made famous in the poem, "The Night Before Christmas."

How about Dunder and Blixem?

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on Dunder and Blixem!"
