Christmas 1
Maybe it's the undeniable alliterative appeal of Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer
that tends to make him the most identified or popular of all Santa's nine flying reindeers.
It definitely doesn't seem as quick to come up with a similar catchy description
for the other individuals - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and
Blitzen - as named in the song.
The story of Rudolph whose glowing red nose created him a standout, very first appeared
in 1939 when Montgomery Ward department retailers distributed about 2.4 million
booklets with the poem in the type of a story about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer." It was written by Robert L. May possibly, who worked in the store's
advertisement or promoting department, to be made use of to attract more consumers into
the shop. When the booklet was reissued in 1939, sales soared to more than three.5
million copies. But it wasn't until a decade later, in 1949, that the story
actually gained immense recognition when Gene Autry sang a musical version of the
fable. As a Christmas song, it is second only in recognition to 'White
Christmas.'
Rudolph, the ninth reindeer whose lighted nose guides Santa's sleigh through the
night, is now identified worldwide as the song has been translated into more than 20
diverse languages and an animated television movie has also been based on the
story. Rudolph and his noticeable nose have also come to be the subject of jokes and
sparked more interest in reindeers which has led to a lot research into Santa and
the flying reindeers who pull his sleigh through the sky.
Along with the catchy rhythm of the lyrics, Rudolph's story is also appealing
for the reason that of the moral lessons it consists of. As the story goes, Rudolph was
ostracized by the other reindeers, which laughed and teased him about his shiny
red nose. But on a foggy night, when Santa should have been concerned that he could possibly
not be able to provide his Christmas presents around the world, Santa spotted him
and kindly asked if he would step to the front as the leader to 'guide my sleigh
tonight.' His shiny red nose would soon after all be quite helpful in lighting the way,
Santa believed. From then on 'all of the other reindeers loved him," and rightly
predicted that he 'would go down in history.'
Amongst the moral lessons the story can impart is that an attribute that is
perceived as negative or as a liability can be made use of for a positive objective, or,
come to be an asset. It also tends to make the point that an person must not let the
negative behavior of other individuals define him or her and limit expectations of what can
be attained. And it also illustrates how easily opinions and attitudes about a
individual can alter.
The query nevertheless lingers on the other hand of where Rudolph came from. He is frequently
regarded as the son of Donner (or Donder), one particular of the original eight reindeers.
But the Snopes.com webpage rejects this on the other hand, saying that he dwelled in a
reindeer village elsewhere and it was there that he was noticed by Santa who had
currently began on his Christmas Eve journey to provide presents. And in a more
modern day evolution of the story according to Wikipedia.com, an animation by the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) introduced a son, named Robbie, of
Rudolph. That son has now come to be the tenth reindeer.
It's also fascinating to note that the idea of Santa's sleigh being pulled by
reindeers was originated in the poem, 'Twas The Night Ahead of Christmas.' That
poem tells the story of St. Nicholas, who is Santa, calling his eight tiny
reindeers by their names, as previously mentioned, just before he came down the
chimney of a property to start off filling the stockings from a sack total of toys he
carried on his back.
