Olive

That Christmas book/special that came out years back about "Olive, the Other Reindeer" has completely messed up the classic Rudolph tune for me. They took the line, "All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names," and created this character named Olive. Now I can't hear or sing the song without picturing this snotty girl reindeer named Olive picking on Rudolph. Ava likes the song. I like the beginning. When I was in junior high, I won a prize by calling in to a radio station in Abilene and naming all 8 of Santa's reindeer. (minus Rudolph of course) I sang the beginning of this song outloud to myself to get the answers I needed. I can't remember what I won.
