The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap...The amazing pop-up scenes and gorgeous illustrations of children, parents and Father Christmas himself ensure that this book will be treasured for a very long time.
