US Edition'Twas the night before Christmas
A Christmas poem by Pamela Ohrt celebrates small towns in Northeast Iowa, highlighting local traditions and holiday spirit across multiple communities.
- On a Christmas Eve night, the poem stages Santa in a sleigh built in Gunder delivering toys across towns from Rudd to Waukon, including a stop in Bristow.
- By naming numerous towns, the poem strings together Dysart, Denver, Preston, Vinton and mentions routes like Westgate, Fairbank, Bellevue to highlight the KOEL AM Radio broadcasting area.
- Gifts detailed include specific toys and quilts: a train set for Brandon, a doll with a 'Mama' squeaker for Allison, a quilt for Aunt Elma, and a beep-beeping toy for Ryan, while households left kolaches in Protivin and lefse in Mabel.
- The piece concludes with 'Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!' credited to Pamela Ohrt, as Santa departed Dike, noting Burr Oak's coldness and Harpers Ferry's red nose.
- Community details like decor and ruckus connect listeners to place, with stockings hung by Traer chimneys, sleeping children in Lamont, and a ruckus from Lime Springs to Delmar.
