The “real” Rudolph story
Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island for almost 70 years, you probably know the story of my lead reindeer, Rudolph. His shiny, red nose helped me deliver my Christmas gifts when the thick fog one Christmas Eve made it impossible to see where I was going! Back in 1939, an advertising copywriter in Chicago named Robert May first told the story to the world. His version differs a bit from the popular one, where Rudolph grew up here on the North Pole and was teased by the other reindeer. In fact, Rudolph grew up in a reindeer village far from here, and was accepted and loved by his family. It was my luck to see his bright nose that foggy Christmas Eve when I brought presents to his home. If you want to share the real story of Rudolph with children this year, look for a copy of the book by Robert L. May.
