Category: A Visit From St. Nicholas

On December 23, 1823,A Visit From St. Nicholas,” perhaps

published in the Troy Sentinel newspaper in New York by

jolly old elf" who travels through the air in a reindeer-
powered sleigh on Christmas eve, bounding down
chimneys after children are asleep to leave them gifts.
