A fragment recalls English parents debating gift giving options two days apart. They resist a longer period and decide to transfer St. Nicholas celebrations to Christmas Eve, choosing a single day of giving over two.
A playful scene shows children plotting to appear as Mother Goose characters to glimpse Santa. They practice still poses in costume, hang stockings, and rehearse lines while awaiting midnight, then grow tired as their tableau continues.
The pageant shows Santa entering as Mother Goose children sleep and miss him. He fills stockings and gifts and Horn of Boy Blue is blown. Morning awakens Fred, Harry, Dorothy, and friends who realize they missed Santa. A reflective verse ends the scene with Christmas devotion.
The Christmas chimes fill the air with unearthly music. The reader sits listening as cares drift away. The poem evokes peace amid street turmoil and human anxieties.
A light verse notes a white Christmas with snow and a cheerful shovel turning to gold coins. It ends with a festive Irish reference and the signature Rk Munkitrice.
