Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a popular Christmas story about a reindeer named Rudolph who has a glowing red nose. Initially mocked for his appearance, Rudolph is eventually trusted to lead Santa Claus’s sleigh through foggy, stormy weather because of his distinctive nose’s brightness. The tale highlights themes of acceptance, individuality, and overcoming adversity. Originating as a 1939 booklet by Robert L. May, it was later adapted into a song and television special, becoming a symbol of holiday cheer and encouraging celebration of unique qualities.
