Rudolph Can Take Christmas Off This Year

Mars is going to be unusually bright and the moon will be shining in full on Christmas Eve, making the night sky so bright that Santa likely won't need the guidance of his reindeer's shiny red nose.
And scientists have re-written the famous reindeer song for the momentous occasion!

"Mars is a red-tinged planet
With a very shiny glow
And if you look to see it
You will find the moon in tow.

All of the other Yuletides
Santa would have at his side
The shiny nose of Rudolph
Acting as his big sleigh's guide

But this very Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph, now with Mars so bright,
You can stay at home tonight."

Then all the reindeer teased him.
And they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Outsourced to astronomy."

oh, scientists. hehehe.
