Does this refer to the woman on the home fix-up show on PBS who has a drill in each hand, and sells her services?

Created as an advertising icon for Montgomery Ward's, I believe.

Depending upon source:

Dasher
Dancer
Prancer
Vixen
Comet
Cupid
Donner
Blitzen

Or the same list except Donner is Donder.

Depends upon whether you're singing the song or reciting the poem.

Just for the record...

Have we all forgotten Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young?

And the Tolkien fan that I am, I think of the 13 dwarves... let me try this without help... Thorin Oakenshield, Fili and Kili, Dori, Nori, and Ori, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur, Oin and Gloin, Dwalin and Balin [yay! i did it!]

We had two little fish once names Fili and Kili. We also had a mexican fighting fish names Smaug. One morning, there was no Fili or Kili...

Wasn't there a Lumpy on Leave It to Beaver? Maybe he was a dwarf and I never realized it. Live and learn again...
