红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song and popular Christmas story about Santa Claus's ninth and lead reindeer who possesses an unusually red-colored nose that gives off its own light, powerful enough to illuminate the team's path through inclement weather.
The story is owned by The Rudolph Company, L.P. and has been sold in numerous forms including a popular song, a television special (done in stop motion animation), and a feature film. Rudolph was created by Robert L. May in 1939 as part of his employment with Montgomery Ward. Character Arts, LLC manages the licensing for the Rudolph Company, L.P. Although the story and song have not passed into public domain, they have established themselves as folklore (as evidenced by the development of local variations and parodies such as "Deadeye the Lonesome Cowboy," collected in the field by Simon J. Bronner and included in American Children's Folklore).

圣诞老人与驯鹿：
圣诞老人坐的雪橇，就是用驯鹿（Reindeer）来拉的，领头的圣诞驯鹿名字叫鲁道夫（Rudolph），有个红红鼻子。
给圣诞老人拉雪橇的驯鹿有9只: Rudolph鲁道夫, Dasher 猛冲者, Dancer 跳舞者, Prancer欢腾, Vixen凶婆娘, Donder大人物, Blitzen闪电, Cupid丘比特 ,Comet彗星. 八只负责出力拉，其中一只“红鼻子鲁道夫---Rudolph”是开路的领头鹿。
驯鹿鲁道夫的故事：
从前有一只驯鹿名叫鲁道夫，它是这个世界上唯一长着大红鼻子的驯鹿。人们很自然地叫它红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫。鲁道夫为自己独一无二的鼻子感到非常难堪。其他的驯鹿都笑话它，就连自己的父母兄弟也因此被嘲笑。有一年的平安夜，圣诞老人正准备驾着四只健壮的驯鹿去给孩子们送礼物，这时，一场浓雾笼罩了大地，圣诞老人知道，在这样的天气里是无法找到任何烟囱的。突然，鲁道夫出现了，它的红鼻子显得比任何时候都亮。圣诞老人立刻意识到他的难题解决了。他把鲁道夫领到雪橇前，套上缰绳，然后自己坐了进去。他们出发了！鲁道夫驮着圣诞老人安全地到达了每一根烟囱。不论雨雪风霜，什么都难不倒鲁道夫，因为它的亮鼻子像灯塔一样穿透了迷雾！
驯鹿主要以冻土带的植物为食。夏天它们吃青草、树叶和鲜蘑；冬天，扒开积雪寻找地衣和苔藓吃。然而，它也不放过捕捉旅鼠的机会；遇到鸟巢时，也会把鸟蛋及幼雏一扫而光。 北极驯鹿又名北方鹿，并非驯养之鹿。驯鹿区别于世界上其他鹿种的最大特点是，雄鹿和雌鹿都长着树枝般的角。驯鹿的名字是从印第安语“克萨里布”演变而来，其意为“雪路先锋”。这个名起得非常恰当，因为它强壮而灵活的四肢及那坚硬而宽大的四蹄，使它不仅在雪地上行进自如，也能从1米深的坚硬雪里刨出食物
