It all depends on what you believe in. I don't think Hallmark made it up, but they do use it for advertisizing. But that movie is a classic! (It's one of my favorites!)

Rudolph was created, not by Hallmark, but by a poet who wanted to write an "Ugly Duckling" type story for Christmas. He modeled his poem upon Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" ("Twas the night before Christmas...") The poet was Robert May. His brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, turned May's poem into the song we all know and love.

Just hear the story of Rudolph on the radio yesterday. It was a Montgomery Wards employee who came up with it but not for marketing. Follow the link below.

Rudolph was a marketing tool created by Montgomery Wards department store many many years ago (1930's?)
I think he is real though too!
