The story was read aloud and detailed the journey of Rudolph, who was teased for his bright red nose, but eventually became a hero by guiding Santa's sleigh through a thick fog.
The original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May.
T'was the day before Christmas, and all through the hills the reindeer were playing, enjoying the spills of skating and coasting and climbing the willows, and hopscotching and leapfrogging, protected by pillows.
Well, every so often they'd stop to call names of one little deer not allowed in their games. Ha ha! Look at Rudolph, his nose is a sight. It's red as a beet, twice as big, twice as bright.
And that's why on this day Rudolph almost felt playful. He hoped that from Santa, soon driving his sleigh full of presents and candy and dollies and toys for good little animals, good girls and boys, he'd get just as much, and this is what pleased him,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
