At Scarborough: twas the night before Christmas

And yes it is finally, the night before Christmas. Rather aptly, Grandpa reads the children the children's book 'the night before Christmas'.

The author Clement C Moore was a clergyman in New York in 1822, he wrote about the never ending sack of toys and stockings hung over the fireplace. His description of Santa is the one that coca cola adopted and then filled the minds of children into what is the prescribed 'look' of Santa.

Either was the children hung onto the reading. Grandpa read well. Their excited minds dancing with christmas images. X
