Rudolph's Origin

July 13

“Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” was first written in about 1939 by Robert May, who included him in a story for the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalogue. The company had been giving out coloring books as a promotion for years and decided one year to create their own. May later bought the rights to the character, and his brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, wrote the now-famous song about the buck with a blessed beak.
