And, by the way: The German word for lightning is Blitz, not "Blitzen". Why
do so many Englisch speakers insist on attaching the "en"? "Blitz" as used
in this context is a noun, not a verb.
It's probably the fault of Santa Claus.
Two of his reindeer are named Donner and Blitzen.
Actually if you do the research you'll find it is donder not donner in
the poem.
