hahaha

can't believe I'd never heard that one before!

nice solve! no guessing needed...

Very well known mondegreen. Love the puzzle

I obviously need to get out more often,I've never heard this one before. Cool image Heather.:)

I hadn't heard it either. Funny.

So how many?

11 reindeer....According to the song, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", Santa has eleven reindeer? Sure, in the introduction it goes "There's Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen..." That makes eight reindeer. Then there's Rudolph, of course, so that makes nine. Then there's Olive. You know, "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh and play" That makes ten. The eleventh is Howe. You know, "Then Howe the reindeer loved him..." Eleven reindeer. The proof is in the song

Very funny travis. Good old reliable Howe. Oh, how we love him.

:)

Thanks Travis - I'd completely missed Howe! :)

Cute and clever! Thanks Heather/
