US EditionA Visit From St. Nicholas
St. Nicholas visits a household on Christmas Eve to deliver toys and fill stockings hung by the chimney, embodying a timeless holiday tradition.
- Soon St. Nicholas appears at the house on the night before Christmas, filling the stockings hung by the chimney with care.
- Stockings hung by the chimney signaled an invitation as children nestled in their beds while the household hoped for St. Nicholas soon.
- A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer landed on the house-top, and St. Nicholas descended the chimney with a bound carrying a bundle of toys.
- After filling the stockings, St. Nicholas departed by springing to his sleigh, whistling to his team as they flew away while he exclaimed `Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.`
- The poem emphasizes soot-stained clothes and a pipe as St. Nicholas appeared with a broad face, little round belly, a stump of a pipe, and a wink to the narrator.
