A compiled set of verses recounting Christmas night events and beliefs. The pieces reference Jesus birth, Santa, shepherds and wise men, angels, and family scenes, with alternating authors and varying tones from reverent to playful.
A whimsical verse by Cindy Elwell envisions Santa bells, bed, and hopeful gifts under the tree. The speaker longs for candy in the stocking, snowbound days, a silver moon, and cozy, warm breath amid a cold winter night.
A poem reflects on Christmas from a child’s lens with Santa Claus and gifts. It mentions the near arrival of Santa, the joy of toys, and the darker night scenes, then shifts to the birth of Jesus Christ and salvation. Janet Crookston and Blake Hansen are named in the piece.
Way up north in the ice and snow lived a fat little Eskimo who could have been Santa but we do not know. He could make the huskies go and one had a bright red nose while the fat little man had bells on his toes, suggesting a Santa-like figure.
A reflective poem describes Christmas night scenes with lights and a playful Santa idea. The speaker mentions a tank gift, a sleigh ride, and a hull side ski moment, concluding with the name Lawrence Andersen.
A playful verse recounts a daughter noting the night before Christmas when her dad set a mouse trap by the tree and Santa Claus supposedly came down the chimney. Janet Lyon narrates a humorous domestic scene with a hopeful ending.
