Ancient? Hope this meant as a joke, Lighter.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a fictional reindeer created by Robert L. May in a 1939 story of the same name.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer may also refer to:    "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (song), a Johnny Marks song sung most famously by Gene Autry in 1949 -- wikipedia

More than your 'dozen years', to be sure. But "Ancient"?!
