Thread Name: Rudolph: which first? legend or song
Subject: Rudolph: which first? legend or song
I was at work at 4.20 this morning,and merrily singing Christmas songs when a thought occurred halfway through "Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer".......Which came first, song or legend?

Was the song written about the legend of Rudolph, or did the legend of Rudolph develop from the song?

Cheers
