 was the day before Christmas and all through the hills the reindeer were playing and enjoying the spills of skating and coasting and climbing the willows and hopscotch and leapfrog protected by pillows How's the sight? It's red as a bee, twice as big and twice as bright Looky, looky, I'm poor Rudolph where most reindeer's noses are brownish and tiny. Rudolph's was red, very large and quite shiny. Good night, you hang up your stocking. His nose the sight, gets red as a bee, twice as big and twice as bright While way way up north on this dark foggy night, awaiting the time for his Christmas Eve flight, good old Santa. This fog will be hard to get through. Dancer! Dancer! Vixen! Comet! Hubbard! Donner! Blitzer! All this took time and filled Santa with gloom, while slowly he groped toward the next reindeer's room. The lamp wasn't burning, the glow came instead from Rudolph's red nose at the head of the bed and then came the greatest idea in all history. So Rudolph is told of the dark and delay, the fog and the blackness and losing the way. I need you tonight to lead all my dear on the rest of our flight. Rudolph's red nose as a wonderful light, old Santa flew quickly the rest of the night. The last present was given away. Rudolph's message, it's all over town! To do nothing but tease him? Well, now they do anything only to please him. I've been riding with Santa and guiding my sleigh the number one job on. I hope you'll continue to keep us from grief. I hereby appoint you. From his head to his toes, until his whole fur was as red as his nose.
