Fiiiiive gooo,oold riiings!
I can really do without these people that go around correcting others when they sing Christmas songs. Hey look, we made the whole thing up, it doesn’t really matter if we change some things around. From the virgin birth to the snowflake on Rudolph’s hoof, it’s all bullshit. So why are we arguing about whether we should be singing “Five golden rings” or “Five gooooold rings”? These are the people that will describe in great detail what a “collie bird” is and why you’re wrong for singing four “calling” birds.
And you know who these assholes are right? They’re people like me. That’s right, I’m one of the people I’m bitching about. Just because I’ve got some trivial archaic knowledge locked away in this rusted brain of mine does not mean you want to hear about it every time you mention the reindeer Donner and Blitzen. Should it be Dunder? Or Donder? Who cares!? Just let me sing the damn song already!
Shut the fuck up and save it for Alex Trebek.

Since you’re singing the song – it’s Donner and Blitzen… If you were a poet, well, that’d be something else.
there, hate away….. heh.

According to “A Visit From St. Nick” by C. Clement Moore, it’s Donder… sorry ’bout that!
