Rudolph!: He is the Reason for the Season

Rudolph! is a first-person account of the behind-the-scenes workings at the North Pole. Narrated by Bernard Rosewood one of the elves of the North Pole Consortium the story begins with Santas realization that a young girls request to get her dad back for Christmas isnt going to happen. Dad you see died in a car accident on a snowy road shortly after Thanksgiving. The NPC can do a lot but they cant do miracles. Enter Rudolph who has been hairless cranky and perpetually irradiated since the unfortunate malfunction of the Nuclear Clock in 1964. Rudolph is a survivor of the worst accident in the 400-plus years of NPC delivery and if there is anyone on staff who believes in miracles more than jolly Saint Nick its Rudolph. Bernie in a valiant effort to keep Christmas from going off the rails is swept up into a Heaven-storming Hell-crusading Night of Bad Musical Numbers adventure to ensure that every child wakes up with presents on Christmas morning. Rudolph! is a funny and fast-paced reaction to 40 years of world-weary cynicism technological advances and post-millennial ennui since Rankin/Bass brought a stop motion reindeer into our living rooms.
