'Twas the Night Before Christmas (or, A Visit from St. Nicholas)

Where would Santa be today without his reindeer? Without his bundle of toys? His jolly disposition?
"'Twas the Night Before Christmas" is more than the beloved poem that generations have fondly read
on Christmas Eve. This poem marked the beginning of the modern image of Santa Claus.

The poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which first appeared in Troy, New York's newspaper
The Sentinel in 1823, introduced the image of our now familiar jolly old elf, bringing toys on
Christmas eve in a sleigh pulled by a team of eight flying reindeer. Bring this timeless story
to your embroidery projects.
