RUDOLPH
THE RED NOSED
REINDEER
IT HAPPENED ON CHRISTMAS DAY
In 1939, Montgomery Ward stores introduced
RUDOLPH
as the ninth reindeer.
The stores gave away more than
2.4 million copies of a little booklet called
"RUDOLPH THE RED - NOSE REINDEER."
The poem was written by
Robert May, who worked
in the advertising department,
and illustrated by Denver Gillen.
Famous cowboy singer;
Gene Autry,
immortalized Rudolph in his 1949 hit record,
and people continue
to sing it every Christmas !
You know Dasher, and Dancer, and
Prancer, and Vixen,
Comet, and Cupid, and
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiney nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history !!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
