You know Dasher, and Dancer, and
Prancer , and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. But do we recall.The most famous
reindeer of all?
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a
very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it you would
even say it glows. All of the other reindeers,
used to laugh and call him names. They never let
poor Rudolph join 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
reindeers loved him as they shouted out with
glee. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go
down in history!
