The poem that inspired the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was written by Robert L. May in 1939. It was created as a marketing tool by Montgomery Ward department store. The song version of Rudolph was later written by Johnny Marks.
Rudolph was written in 1939 as an advertising gimmick for the Montgomery Ward department store. It was intended to be a promotional give-away book, but the tale quickly became popular. In 1947, the author, Robert L. May, bought the copyright from the department store and began to market Rudolph. The song was recorded in 1949 by Gene Autry, and the rest is history. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was written in 1949 by U.S. songwriter Johnny Marks. He took the idea from a verse written in 1939 by his brother-in-law, Robert L. May.

It was broadcast for the first time in 1964. It was slightly modified in 1965, because the producers didn't show Santa stopping at the Island of Misfit Toys to pick them up, and a massive write-in campaign (of watchers taken with the adorable Misfit Toys) prompted them to add the scene when Santa comes to pick them up.
You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen.
Comit, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen but do you
recall the most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red nose reindeer,
had a very shiny nose, (Like A Lightbulb)
and if you ever saw it,
you would even say it glowed. (Like A Disco Ball)
All of the other reindeer,
used to laugh and call him names. (Like Pinocchio)
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 reindeer loved him,
as they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,
you'll go down in history!" (Like George Washington)
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen.
Sam the Snowman, the narrator of the Rudolph story. He was voiced by Burl Ives.
Hermey the elf wanted to be a dentist, which was quite unheard of for an elf.
Some Christmas traditions are hanging up Christmas lights, going to your families and celebreate Christmas with a big Christmas meal and then the children open gifts that Santa brings them. Then on Christmas day the kids usually get gifts but some of them get coal, those who get gifts open them.
Robert L. May created the song; Johnny Marks adapted it for song.
However, it is Harry Brannon and Gene Autry who both sang the song and made it famous, the former on the radio and the latter officially recording it.
Sam the Snowman played the banjo.
Now Dasher,Dancer,Prancer and Vixen... Comet,Cupid,Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch...to the top of the wall! Now dash away,dash away,dash away all! HOHOHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dogsled driver from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was named Yukon Cornelius.
I think it is 4
a classical character from a Christmas story
The female reindeer that had a crush on Rudolph was named Clarice.
Yukon Cornelius refers to him as the Bumble.
It looks like the handles are of different lengths; though it could be the angles of the shots, it does look like the left one (as you're riding) is longer than the right. Not so misfit to me; just take a saw, some sand paper, and paint to it and...voila! Fit!
The spelling of 'Santa Claus' is correct in terms of the English language. The name of the beloved visitor during the Christmas season takes other forms in other cultures and languages. For a comparison of the possibilities, please visit the 'Santa Claus' category of WikiAnswers.
