He wrote the song from the Sanitarium where he was being treated for tuberculosis.

The bridge of the song has the following lyrics:

"In the meadow we can build a snowman,
then pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say 'Are You Married?' We'll say 'No man,

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose…. was created as a story then later on becomes a song in 1939 by Robert L. May, an employee of Montgomery ward. The storyline is owned by The Rudolph company, L. P. and has been sold in numerous forms like television and commercials.

Joy to the World -- Joy to the world, the Lord has come……it is a well known Christmas carol and the words are made by Isaac Watts, but the music was arranged and adapted by Lowell Mason (but was believed to came from the “Messiah” which is the work of Handel).

The song has been recorded and modified a lot of times by the conductor Percy Boney in the album The 20 Greatest Christmas songs. John Rutter arranged the carol in the tradition of Handel. Then the Cambridge Sisters recorded it. The Kings Sisters introduced a new a cappella version of the song into their repertoire in 2008, arranged by their current first baritone Philip Lawson. Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey have a version of this song too.
