After a short rest and a few carrots, Donna and Rudi set off for the final trip on Christmas Eve. As usual for the last run, Mr Santa Claus drives the sleigh. It is snowing heavily and there is some problem with visibility but Mr C is a very experienced driver and not too worried . . . yet. Donna is now happy and pulls the sleigh, with Rudi at her side and the other reindeer behind. Together they run and then fly through the air, climbing steeply. ‘Rudi is my hero’, she says. Little does she realise that after tonight’s trip Rudolph will be everyone’s hero. But that’s another story.
