My brother, a pastor, has done some methodical research and discovered the name of another one of Santa's reindeer - Gerald Lee.

Gerald was bigger than the rest of the reindeer, and not too gifted in the intelligence area.

However, his nose glowed somewhat, and Santa used him to comply with FAA regulations - although the light would never be enough to be used for guidance on a foggy night.

So because Gerald got to be the leader, and given his size and personality, he was a bully amongst the other reindeer. Not only did he lord it over them, but he was the first to start making fun of Rudolph and any other reindeer who could be easily intimidated.

To top it off, Gerald was extremely flatulent and took great pride in displaying his talent particularly while leading the pack on Christmas eve.

So it was no surprise that all of the other reindeer secretly disliked Gerald, but had to respect Santa's decisions to let Gerald be in front.

Being a proud bully and all, there was one thing Gerald didn't like - and that was his first name. Instead, he insisted that he be called by a hybrid name composed of his first initial and his last name. Which explains why, when Santa finally chose Rudolph to lead the sleigh, all of the other reindeer shouted . . .

. . . "Out with Glee."
