Lyrics by Coni Koepfinger and  C. Michael Perry 

The plot centers on Rudy Baggins, the red-nosed reindeer, and Suzie Snowflake, an elf with a sneezing problem. Suzie wishes to overcome her sneezing and be useful for Santa, seeking help from the Silent Snowman. Rudy shares his story of being bullied and running away, but eventually saving Christmas with his glowing nose. Suzie’s wish is granted, leading to her getting a job in quality control at a Kleenex Factory. The musical concludes with a celebratory song involving Santa and a message about believing in yourself and Christmas magic.
