Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Rudolph is usually depicted as the ninth and youngest of Santa Claus’s reindeer, using his luminous red nose to lead the reindeer team and guide Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve.

The original story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was written by, Robert May.
First publication of the short story was in 1939.
