Tonight

Rudolph was born with a nose that glowed bright red, and the other reindeer thought it was the funniest thing they’d ever seen. They teased him and wouldn’t let him join their games, which is hard on a young reindeer who only wants a turn. His nose kept shining after bedtime too, so it was a bit tricky to hide.

Then one Christmas Eve the fog rolled in so thick that Santa couldn’t see past the front of his own sleigh, and he began to worry that the presents wouldn’t get delivered. That’s when he noticed Rudolph’s nose glowing like a little lantern and asked him for help. Rudolph took his place at the front of the team and led the sleigh from house to house through the fog, and every present got where it was going. By morning the reindeer who’d laughed at him were glad to have him, and the elves cheered loudest of all.

Rudolph is a lot younger than most Christmas characters, since a man named Robert May made him up in 1939 for a booklet that a department store handed out to children at Christmas. The song that made him famous came along about ten years later.
