who wrote the song run run rudolph

Ah, that song was written by Johnny Marks in 1949! It tells the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, who was teased by the other reindeer because of his unique nose. But when Santa couldn't fly his sleigh on Christmas Eve due to a heavy fog, Rudolph's shining nose was able to guide him to safety. The song has been a holiday favorite ever since.
