Rudolph...

Miss Cellania is writing now for the mental_floss blog on occasion and her article on Reindeers caught my eye because I remember reading this book by Robert L. May as a child.  I dislike commercialism, but like the study of advertising. Because Santa Claus was actually a real Bishop, I enjoy taht particular tradition. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer was a marketing ploy for Montgomery Wards.   Part of our Christmas decorations include old family Christmas books.  My children, in order to be able to open one gift on Christmas Eve, had to recite "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
