Parents around the world are having to explain to their children why someone may have killed the beloved Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. A hunter was shocked by what he saw when he came up on the young deer that he had just shot and killed. "It was a perfect morning, the sun had just come up and the cold temperature gave the surface of the snow a nice crunch." said avid hunter Paul B. Onion, "I was in my tree stand and heard him coming. I watched with excitement as he walked right into my clear line of sight. The deer position was perfect so I shot him." Onion continued, "He went right down so I didn't have to to any tracking. As I approached the deer I noticed that the sun was just breaking through the trees and a ray of light shown upon his head. Imaging my surprise when I looked at his face to see a nose that was much closer to red then black. My instant reaction was 'HOLY S%$! I killed Rudolph!' This may sound corny but with the sun shining on his face the way it was, looking at his nose I would have even said it glowed!"
When Onion brought the deer into his local checkpoint it was obvious he wasn't the only one who made the Rudolph claim. A few even diverted some of the children's eyes who were present. "The red nose was the first thing everyone noticed."
The Game Warden tried to calm some people's nerves by making a statement. "It is obvious that the red on this deer nose is not genetic but more of a result from a fight or a fall and the nose was damaged and the result is apparent." That wasn't enough to hinder one news paper to title their article as "Rudolph is Dead!" This caused an immediate uproar and there has been no comment as of yet from the paper.
"I ended up taking a black permanent marker and coloring the deers nose before bringing it home. I have two young children at home." Onion said. "It was all I could think of to do." Onion concluded, "All I know for sure is that I'm praying there isn't a snowstorm on Christmas Eve.....just in case."

Ever think that maybe Dasher and Dancer are plotting to oust Rudolph anyway? Why does he get all the glory anyway? They could make it look like an accident. Santa would never know unless Blitzen spills the beans.
Marcy - good point. And Rudolph really had only one night of glory when the rest of them work year after year!
Poor Rudolph, (sniff) Xmas will never be the same...
