May was a copywriter at the Montgomery Ward department store and in 1939, he wrote a Christmas-themed poem to bring more patrons into the store during the holidays. The rhyme pattern of the poem was similar to 'Twas the Night Before Christmas but it told the story of a young reindeer named Rudolph who was mercilessly teased by other reindeer because of his unusual glowing red nose. When Christmas Eve rolled around and Santa declared he wouldn't be able to deliver any presents that night thanks to heavy fog, Rudolph saved the day by leading the sleigh with the light of that red nose.
