RANKIN/BASS' RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER on CBS Tuesday night!

It is on again TUESDAY night....Heavily edited and time compressed to squeeze every little commercial possible...but at least it is still on Network television. I will once again do a cyber book signing that night on all of my books BUT if you really like RUDOLPH...you will like my new MAD MONSTER PARTY book :)
