| Excerpt: This is a sample from page 3. Rudolph: Hey you guys, what’s going on? Santa: Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas! Frosty: Hi Santa. Hey Rudolph. We were just talking about the reason for the season. Rudolph: The reason for the season? Ginger: Yeah, see I found this sign. (holds up note) Frosty: He thinks he’s the reason for the season. Ginger: And he thinks he’s the reason. Santa: I’m afraid you’re both wrong. Rudolph: Yeah, way off! Frosty: Why’s that? Santa: Because everybody knows the real reason for the Christmas season is.... Rudolph & Santa: (at the same time) Me! (looking at each other, then speaking at the same time again) You? Santa: Come on Rudolph, everybody knows I’m the reason we have Christmas. I’m the one who brings the children all their presents.Rudolph: But without me you wouldn’t be able to deliver all the presents. I pull the sleigh! Santa: Of course you do, Rudolph, and I appreciate the job you do for me, but let’s face it, without me there would be no presents to deliver. Ginger: He’s got you on that one, Rudolph. Rudolph: But I’m the head reindeer and I’m known everywhere. Why, there’s even a song about me and my red nose, so I’ve got to be important to Christmas. Frosty: There’s a song about me too! Santa: Just one? Please, I’ve got dozens of songs written about me! Ginger: Am I the only one without a song? I’ve got to get a better agent!
