Rudolph leads the Reindeer back to the North Pole
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a fictional reindeer with a glowing red nose. In story and song, he is depicted as "Santa's 9th Reindeer",
as the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. The luminosity of his "shiney nose" is so great that it illuminates the reindeer's path through
inclement winter weather.
