			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With apologies to my friends of other faiths and cultures who may not have heard this song or celebrate the Hallmark-sponsored winter holiday of Xmas, I wanted to share an epiphany I had today about a song that's been rattling around my brain for 38 years. </p>
<p>I never knew the untold marketing lessons lying beneath the cheesy exterior of this holiday classic, <em><strong>Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.</strong></em></p>
<p>Take a listen with me and follow along:</p>
<p><em><strong>Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose</strong></em></p>
<p>Be uniquely you, shiny red nose and all. Are you weird, snarky, or just really like Smurf culture? Be that. Be it on purpose and without apology.</p>
<p><em><strong>And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glowed</strong></em></p>
<p>Let people see you. Get out there. Help people see who you are, share your Smurf love.</p>
<p><em><strong>All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names</strong></em></p>
<p>Oh, yeah, that's gonna happen. Count on it. Actually, embrace it. If some people are beating you down or calling you names, it means you're out there, you're doing it. Bravo!</p>
<p><em><strong>They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games</strong></em></p>
<p>Yeah, that'll happen too. S'okay. Just keep lining up to get picked and eventually you'll get in the game. Or, you can find another team. Just don't quit the games altogether, mmkay?</p>
<p><strong><em>Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"</em></strong></p>
<p>Your patience and game-playing will be rewarded. Don't wait for Santa, but know that if you keep doing that other stuff, he'll find you.</p>
<p><em><strong>Then how the reindeer loved him, and they shouted out with glee, "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, you'll go down in history!"</strong></em></p>
<p>Hey, I didn't write the song, okay? I just analyzed it for you. Now when you shop the aisles of your local Safeway, you'll have something new to think about while accompanied by the holiday classics.</p>
