It’s Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
It’s an oldie but a goodie! It’s actually so old we watch it on VHS.
Did you know that there is a relatively recent book about Rudolph written for adults?
It’s a fascinating look at the history of Rudolph, who was first immortalized by Robert May who worked for Montgomery Ward as part of a Christmas giveaway in 1939.
The book traces Rudolph from his humble beginnings, through the stop motion movie that I love and adore, and explores the Rudolph universe to the present day.
If you’re looking for a light hearted read about a holiday icon, this would be the book for you! You should be able to find it at your local library!
Trivia Question: Do you know who originally sang the song which has become one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time?
Answer: Gene Autry
