Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was written by a great Jewish man, how cool is that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._May

Rudolph has an odd nose, and he gets chosen to lead all the other Reindeer! Kids love this song. You teach it to them when they are young and they'll never forget it!

I’m sure this is just a coincidence than but Rudolph sounds a like Adolf, or in today’s concept Russian Adolf. And word red doesn’t help, as red was favorite SSSR color. 0_o
