This was one of the most heartrending moments in the 1964 classic, "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer." Toys, abandoned by owners who did not want them anymore--a metaphor for the socially abandoned in our society.
I myself felt, especially during adolescence, I belonged on this island. In fact, I wanted to go, because everyone there seemed so loving to each other, united in their feeling unloved,
But I always loved the misfit toys, and their island, and the sequence was a favorite. So, on Sunday, while not a religious song, it has humanitarian themes that are apropos of the true meaning of Christmas.
