Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer!

 You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen and Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Ah yes! Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, this was one of my favorite Christmas stories ever! And since we are getting ever so closer to Christmas, I figured it would be appropriate to talk about this amazing story.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was created by Robert L. May and it made its debut on the bookshelves back in 1939.

The story goes as Rudolph was born with a glowing red nose which in turn leads him to being mocked and teased by his fellow reindeer. But what at first was thought to be a weakness, turned out to be his greatest strength as a huge winter storm covered the world which kept Santa from delivering toys for Christmas. That was until they used Rudolph's glowing red nose to light the way for Santa and his sleigh.

This story is so amazing and it is also the kind of story that is still relevant to this very day. The reason why I say that is because how early on in the story, Rudolph thought his nose was nothing more than a curse. But it ultimately it was a gift from above and it was used to save the day.

It truly is amazing because we all can relate to something like that. We all have our own problems that deal with throughout our lives. We all wonder why we all deal with these issues. But I like to believe that everything happens for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes, there is a reason behind everything and we just never see it. You just have to have faith that it will all lead somewhere and that is what this story means to me. 😇

The song was amazing too. In fact, it was created ten years after the book was released and it was created by May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks who wrote the lyrics while Gene Autry sang the song which hit the number one spot of the Billboard pop charts the week of Christmas. The recording sold nearly 3 million dollars in its first year! 😲

I also loved 1964 stop motion animation television special which was made by Rankin/Bass Productions. The screenplay was written Romeo Muller who also written a number of other amazing Christmas animations as well like Little Drummer Boy, Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

It is such a beautiful story and I pray that many generations from now people will still be influenced by Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏
