Neither forgot Rudolph. They agree on Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Blitzen.<\/p>\n<p>But is the seventh reindeer called \u201cDonner,\u201d as the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, or is it \u201cDonder\u201d ? Apparently this is a long-running debate.<\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s what California\u2019s agricultural authority says:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"large\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trbimg.com\/img-567b373f\/turbine\/la-fi-donner-or-donder-20151223\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"795\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">It&#8217;s Donder, not Donner, California says.

May, first penned the Rudolph poem, apparently without the roll call of fellow reindeer, for the Montgomery Ward department store, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autry.com\/clubhouse\/christmas\/geneautry_rudolphsong.html\">GeneAutry.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>May was riffing on \u201cA Visit from St. Nicholas,\u201d published anonymously in 1823 and later claimed by Clement Clarke Moore. It uses &#8220;Donder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not to pollute one good argument with another, but some experts say the original poem was written by <a href=\"http:\/\/german.about.com\/library\/blgermyth05.htm\">Henry Livingston Jr.<\/a>, a New Yorker with Dutch and Scottish roots.<\/p>\n<h2>Who made the caribou-boo?<\/h2>\n<p>Jay Van Rein, a spokesman for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, said the feds will get the first crack at finding out, since Santa first must cross an international border. St. Nick&#8217;s sleigh haulers will need to have embedded chips or ear tags and respond to their names, USDA says.<\/p>\n<p>Van Rein noted that there is a strong Dutch faction (presumably including the Van Reins) that sticks to the original, \u201cDunder and Blixem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.snopes.com\/holidays\/christmas\/donner.asp%20Snopes.com\">Snopes.com, <\/a>the arbiter of online veracity, says the Dutch name is right. So do a lot of other sources.<\/p>\n<p>The Poetry Foundation cites the Random House Book of Poetry for Children, and goes with Donner.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth reminding that California could just be avoiding the rather ill-fated \u201cDonner\u201d moniker, which is indelibly inked into the annals of ill-fated winter travel.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, if a fat old guy in a red suit driving a sled pulled by ungulates gets past NORAD, he probably will get by agricultural inspectors.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Happy Christmas to All,<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 and To All a Good Fight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/la-fi-reindeer-names-20151223-htmlstory.html\">Link to original article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geoffrey Mohan,&nbsp;The Los Angeles Times Farm agencies are not about to be outdone by U.S. air defense officials when it comes to altering policies to aid Santa and his reindeer.
