When did Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer appear?

Reindeer No.9 ( in the original Santa Claus poem by Clement Moore- there were only 8 tiny reindeer, and it is implied Santa had shape-shifting or size altering powers in order to get down the chimney-an idea pretty much ignored by modern Santa Mythologists. well he was introduced by Montgomery Wards as a cartoon feature in their Christmas Catalog sometime in the Late thirties or immediate pre-war. The popular song was written by one Johnny Marks ( spelled Marks and not Marx, either the Communist or the toy maker ( I:m Magic marxie bringing fun, Marx makes more toys than anyone!- so went their jingle in the sixties.) Johnny Marks wrote the song. There have been numerous cartoon and other adaptations, some suggesting a sort of zoological cross-feed with Pinochhio and his lengthy snout- for telling lies- h"mm one thing does lead to another. Clausism is a myth, and maybe that explains the day-glow nose!

BUT YOUR WRONG BIATCH

Did all of santas reindeers have antlers?

Analysis: If we're really going to let science be our guide in this matter, the first thing we have to admit is that reindeer don't fly, let alone haul a jolly fat elf around in an airborne sleigh. And if we start down that slippery slope, there's only one conclusion we can possibly reach: Santa Claus doesn't exist. That way lies madness.
But there is a loophole.
It is a fact, reindeer experts say, that both the male and female of the species have antlers. It is also a fact that while most cows retain their antlers until spring, most bulls drop their antlers by early December. Which is worrisome, I know, but the key word is most.
The experts go on to explain that some younger bulls, depending upon hereditary and environmental factors, may keep their antlers well into spring --- even as late as April.
So it is plausible to suppose that if, for the sake of argument, there were a Santa Claus, and if, for the sake of argument, he did circumnavigate the globe in a reindeer-powered sleigh every December 25th, then at least some of those reindeer --- including one in particular with a shiny, red nose --- could be males.
Chalk one up for tradition, if just barely.

From solar energy to plants: The plant captures part of the light energy from the Sun, and stores it as chemical energy.Plants to animals: To a great extent, there is no energy conversion here.
