The history of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
by Angela Dale
The story of Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer was
brought to life in 1939 by a
gentlemen named Robert L.
May.
At the time, May, 34, was
a copywriter for the Department store chain, Montgomery
Ward. He was asked by the
Company to come up with a
Christmas story that could be
given away to shoppers as a
promotional tool around the
Holidays.
For years, the chain had
been spending big bucks on
buying and giving away coloring books to their loyal patrons, so with penny pinching
in mind, department heads
came to the conclusion that
creating a giveaway book of
their own would be a way to
save money.
May had been known
around the office for writing
children’s stories so the folks
at Ward’s had their man. May,
relating to his self, realized
that ,as a child, he was teased
for being small, shy and some-
what a mis-fit. At this point he tossed around. The name Rollo
knew his character had
to be someone
that folks would
want to cheer for,
somewhat of an underdog. What better
than a deer who was
ostracized by the reindeer community just
because he had a glowing red nose.
Although department heads shuttered
at the thought of a rednosed reindeer, (red
noses were associated
with drinking and
drunk people at that
time) they soon
overcame their
hesitancy after May
had an
artist
friend
sketch
was condeer
sidered, but
from the local zoo.
later denounced beThe next obstacle was
cause that just seemed to
to name this awkward reindeer. Several names were cheerful. The next name was
Reginald, but that was too
“British.” Then the name
Rudolph came to mind, and
there was no looking back. In
1939, 2.4 million copies of the
Rudolph booklet were distributed even though wartime paper shortages hindered printing
for the next several years. By
the time 1946 rolled around, 6
million copies had been given
out to patrons.
Although May had created
the story, he was a paid employee of Montgomery
Ward, so they held the
copyright and he received
no royalties. This was hard
for May because he had
lost his wife to a terminal illness about
the same time he
c r e a t e d
Rudolph, and
he was in debt
due to medical
bills that racked up during her illness.
May conguered up enough
courage to ask the corporate
president to turn over the copyrights to Rudolph, and fortu-
nately for him they were
turned over in 1947. This secured Mays financial future.
With the copyright in hand,
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was printed commercially in 1947 and shown in
theaters as a cartoon the next
year.
Most Americans know that
with the cartoon that is so familiar to every child old
enough to watch, is a song that
goes right along with the story.
Johnny Marks, Mays brotherin-law, developed the words
and lyrics, that no artist would
touch. That was until Gene
Autry’s wife urged the famous
singer to record the song.
The song sold 2 million
copies that year, and went on
to become the second best selling song of all time, underneath Bing Crosby’s “White
Christmas” as number one.
The 1964 television special
about Rudolph is an all-time
tradition for many families this
time of year. It remains a holiday favorite and Rudolph himself has become a great Christmas icon.

Christmas

Jesus is the reason for the season
by Beth Toombs
These days we see a slogan
that says, “Jesus is the reason
for the season.”
“Who is this Jesus?” you
ask. “What season?”
Well, let me tell you.
Jesus is the Son of God, and
the season is the time of the
year when we celebrate His
birthday.
A long time ago, more 2000
years ago, in the little town of
Nazareth in Galillee of Judea,
a young woman named Mary
was sitting by herself, when the
angel Gabriel, who was God’s
chief angel, appeared to her. Of
course she was frightened, and
he said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary.
I have come to give you a message, marvelous news which
shall be important to all people.
You will conceive and bear a
son, and call His name Jesus.
He will be great, and reign over
the house of David, and his
kingdom will have no end.”
Mary was puzzled. She said,
“How can this be? I am a virgin. I have never been with a
man.”
The angel explained, “The
Holy Spirit will come over you
and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. For
that reason, the child shall be
called the Son of God.”
“And also, you cousin,
Elizabeth, eventhough she is
old and has never had a child,
is also going to have a baby.
For nothing is impossible with
God.”
(Elizabeth’s baby is the one
who grew up to be John the
Baptist.)
Mary said, “I am the
bondslave of the Lord. Let it
be to me as you said.” and the
angel departed.
Mary immediately went to
see Elizabeth, and when she
entered the house and called
out a greeting, the baby in
Elizabeth’s womb leaped, and
Elizabeth was filled with the
Holy Spirit. Elizabeth cried,
“How is it that the mother of
my Lord shall come to me? For
behold, when you greeted me,
the baby leaped in my womb
for joy. You are blessed among
women!”
Mary sang a song of praise
and dedication. She stayed
with Elizabeth for three
months, and then went back
home.
Mary was engaged to be
married to Joseph, a carpenter.
When he learned that she was
pregnant, at first he thought he
would break the engagement,
but an angel came to him in a
dream and said, “Don’t be
afraid to take Mary for your
wife, for the child she carries
is of the Holy Ghost.” So he
honored his committee to her.
He took her to be his wife, but
did not have marital relations
with her until after the baby
was born.
The months went by, and
when Mary was well along in
her pregnancy, the governor of
Judea made an ordinance that
all men should go to the hometown of their ancestors to pay
taxes. Joseph was a descendant
of King David, so he and Mary
had to go to Bethlehem. When
they got there, the town was
full of people, and they
couldn’t find a place to stay.
Finally a kindly inkeeper, seeing that Mary was close to the
time to have her baby, said they
could sleep in the barn where
they would be warm. And there
the Baby Jesus was born. Mary
wrapped him in some swaddling clothes and laid him in a
manger filled with hay.
Outside of town there were
some shepherds tending their
sheep. Suddenly a bright light
surrounded them, and the Glory
of the Lord shone abut them.
They were really scared. But
the angel of the Lord said,
“Don’t be afraid. I have come
to give you news of great joy
which shall be for all people.
Today, in the City of David, a
Savior was born, who is Christ
the Lord. You will find Him, a
little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
And about that time, a multitude of angels appeared, praising God and shouting, “Glory
to God in the highest, and on
earth, peace among men of
good will.”
When the angels left, the
shepherds looked at each other
in wonderment and said,
“Let’s go straight to
Bethlehem and see this thing
that God has made known to
us.” And they hurried to
Bethlehem and found Mary
and Joseph and the baby, just
as the angel had said. And they
told everybody what they had
heard and seen. Everybody
who heard about it wondered
at the news, but Mary treasured all these things in her
heart.

Last night, a group of
friends and I went driving
around to view the Christmas
lights that are on display in our
area this year.
As we enjoyed the elaborate
displays at some homes, I began to think about my annual
Christmas story for the paper
and what I would write about
this year.
I wondered where and how
the tradition of Christmas
lights started and decided that
would make an interesting
holiday piece.
To my surprise, a quick
Internet search revealed piles
of information about historic
Christmas lights. In fact, there
are numerous collectors of antique Christmas lights that are
incredibly knowledgeable
about the topic.
Let’s jump back to 1879,
when Thomas Edison invented
the world’s first light bulb.
Edward Johnson, the vice
president of Edison’s electric
company, experimented with
lighting and electricity and in
1882 became the first person
to electrically-light a Christmas tree.
The tree was displayed in
the foyer of his New York City
home, which was located in the
first section of that city to be
wired for electricity.
Johnson adorned his tree
with 80 lights encased in glass
eggs of red, white, and blue.
A reporter named Croffut
visited Johnson’s home and
wrote about the tree in the Detroit Post and Tribune, widening the awareness of a possible
new holiday decoration.
Two years later, in 1884,
Johnson improved his tree
lighting design and decorated
his tree with 120 lights in
globes of different colors. This
time around, the New York
Times did a story on the tree,
complete with detailed technical descriptions.
In 1890, Edison’s company
published a 28-page catalog
that for the first time included
lighting for Christmas trees as
a genuine product.
President Grover Cleveland
displayed the White House’s
first electrically-lit Christmas
tree in 1895, and the nation
took notice.
By the next Christmas, high
society members were hosting
Christmas Tree parties. These
events were quite elite; typical
lighted trees at that time cost
$300, which is equivalent to
$2000 in today’s currency.
In 1900, Edison began advertising his miniature tree
lights in popular magazines,
which could (oddly enough)
even be rented. Edison’s ads
claimed that the lights had “no
danger, smoke, or smell.”
At the time, however, electricity did not have the widespread public distribution that
we know now. If a person lived
outside of a major city and
wanted an electrically-lit tree,
he or she had to supply their
own power from household
generators.
A “wireman” also had to be
hired to light the trees, because
few people were willing or able
to perform the intricate job of
hand-wiring all the lights on
the tree. Because electric
socket outfits had not yet been
invented, the tree lighting had
to be hand-wired each time.
Battery-operated strings of
lights, which were smaller but
less expensive, were also avail-
able for people who wanted to
attempt the hand-wiring themselves. In fact, Popular Electricity Magazine featured a
piece for children detailing how
to light a tree with battery-powered lights.
In 1903, however, Christmas tree lighting changed. The
General Electric Company
(GE) introduced the first sets of
pre-wired sockets, which they
called festoons. GE attempted
to patent the festoons, but the
court system decided that the
idea was based on knowledge
possessed by “any ordinary
wireman,” so the design was
not patentable.
GE’s failed attempt to
patent the festoons left the
market wide open. Many
companies began to manufacture and sell the strings of
lights, and the Christmas lighting industry was born.
Incidentally, the cost of
GE’s first string of lights was
$12 per string of 24 lights.
While this amount may not
seem expensive today, in
1903, the average weekly
wage was approximately
$13.20.

He came as a baby, homeless and poor
And centuries later, still knocks at the door.
He’s God’s gift of life as he’s been from the start
With no need for an inn, if there’s room in your
heart.

WISH A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Brought only by his abundant love.

Toy safety at Christmas time
by Angela Dale
With all of the recent toy
recalls, it is important to get the
facts out there about toys and
their dangers, especially during
this gift-giving time of year.
The idea of the product
safety experts at the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) want shoppers to
keep a few things in mind
when shopping for toys. First
of all, know the child and know
the toy. With these two pieces
of information you can almost
guarentee the toy will not only
be enjoyed but it will also be
safe.
Read the labels for age recommendations, and learn everything you can about toy recalls. The label will tell you if
a toy is safe for younger children and if it is not safe, why.
Toys that are meant for older
children may have parts or
strings that can choke or
strangle a younger child, especially those under 3 years of
age.
Product safety inspectors
regularly visit mega-sized retail outlets, small stores and
resale shops looking for dangerous items and for those
products that have been re-
called, but not every item that
has been recalled can be removed from circulation. This
is why it is important for you
as a parent or anyone that will
give a gift to a child to educate
themselves about the dangers.
Consumers can look at a list
that is researched by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for toys or
items that have been recalled.
One of the major concerns
this year has been toys recalled
because of lead hazards. Lead
is used in two ways during toy
production. It is found in the
paint on the toys and in plastics. Toys that have been made
in other countries and imported
into the U.S. or antique toys
passed down through generations may expose children to
lead.
Only a certified lab can
make a positive analysis and
accurately test a toy for lead.
There are some do-it-yourself
kits, but they will not tell you
how much lead is present, and
they may not detect low levels
of lead.
The best advice would be if
you suspect your child has
been exposed to a toy contain-

ing lead, take the toy away and
call you health care provider.
DSHS offers these additional safety tips:
Select toys that are age appropriate. Look for sturdy toys
with no loose parts
For children under 3 years of
age, don’t buy toys with small
parts such as balls, marbles,
etc.
For children under 6 avoid
building sets with small magnets. If the magnet or magnetic
pieces are swallowed, serious
injury or death could occur.
If you buy toys that contain arrows or darts, be sure they have
rubber suction cups or protective tips and teach them how
to play with them safely.
Discard plastic wrapping on
toys immediately, before they
become deadly playthings.
Look for toys that have strings
as part of the toy. Make sure
that they are not long enough
for children to get wrapped up
in.

toy safety please visit the web

Remembering our
troops at Christmas time
by Angela Dale
This is my last story as a reporter before transitioning into
marketing here at the Index, so
I felt I needed to write about
something that is close to my
heart, our veterans, especially
around this time of year.
The sacrifices of wartime
are most felt around the holiday season. For the small minority of American families
who have someone serving in
Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere
for that matter this time of year
can be devastating.
Those left behind are left to
fill a void that just can’t be
filled. Children don’t understand why mommy or daddy
can’t be there with them over
the holidays.
The war is something everyone is familiar with. It
dominates our evening news,
our political debates, our dinner conversations, and our
lives in general, however, the
men and women of our armed
forces are often invisible. We
see them in photos, television
ads and obituaries columns, but
not as real people.
Even though this happens,
the soldiers of our armed forces
accept their fate heroically. You
don’t really hear a soldier complain that he is missing Christmas at home. Most of them
know that they have their
buddy right there and that
young soldier is depending on
him.
Christmas at wartime
brings mixed emotions mainly
because most soldiers wake up
on Christmas morning to the
same thing they have waken up
with the other 364 days of the
year. They wake up to raids,
blarring sirens, rocket attacks,
IED’s being detonated, and
enraged detainees and citizens.
They wake up to war.
So this time of year please
realize the importance of supporting our troops by demonstrating our faith in what they
are set to accomplish.
Providing this world with
freedom and peace and coming home alive, healthy, and
well.
May the twelve days of Christmas brighten your heart and home,
creating goodwill, joy and fond memories to last the whole year through.
We feel fortunate to have you among our circle of friends.
Thanks for being so good to us this past year.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

T’WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE
MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE
NO TINSEL NO PRESENTS
NOT EVEN A TREE
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING
SILENT, ALONE
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER
NOT HOW I PICTURED
AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
WAS THIS HERO
OF WHOM I’D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT
SOON ROUND THE WORLD
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY
AND GROWN-UPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE
I COULDN’T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT
A TEAR TO MY EYE
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE
“SANTA DON’T CRY,
THIS IS MY LIFE CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
I DON’T ASK FOR MORE
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP
I COULDN’T CONTROL IT
I CONTINUED TO WEEP
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHTS CHILL
I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD DARK NIGHT
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
WITH VOICE SOFT AND PURE
WHISPERED “CARRY ON SANTA
ITS CHRISTMAS DAY ALL IS SECURE.”
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT
“MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.”

Things you might not know about Christmas...
by Angela Dale
Did you know that.....
Christmas trees have been selling commercially
in the United States since the 1950’s.
Thomas Edison’s assistant, Edward
Johnson, came up with the idea of
electric lights for Christmas trees
in 1882.
In the first week, a tree in your
home will consume as much as a
quart of water per day.
There are over 10,000 cut-yourown farms in the United States
alone.
The candy cane has many stories, but the origin of the candy
cane goes back over 350 years. The
original cane was straight and completely white. There is legend that
many folks find “sweet” although
there is no historical evidence to
support the claims, that the candy cane was shaped
like a “J” for Jesus. The red-and-white stripes represented Christ’s blood and purity. The three red
stripes symbolized the Holy Trinity. The hardness
of the candy cane represented the Church’s foundation on solid rock and
the peppermint flavor
represented the use of
hyssop, an herb referred to in the Old
Testament. As mentioned before,
there is no evidence to support
this thought, but
they are lovely
thoughts to say the
least.
A Catholic priest named
Gregory Keller invented
a machine to automate
candy cane production
during the 1950’s.
Dear Santa, I hope you are feeling
good because Christmas is coming
up. May you get me a Hannah Montana wig because it is long? Can you
get me a Hannah Montana shirt because I will be a twin like Jacky? I
would love Hannah Montana pants
because it will mach my shirt.
Love, Alexis
