Description
As expectation mounts on Christmas Eve, a boy hears sleigh bells ringing and looks out of the window in time to see Santa arrive. Santa comes down the chimney (this is a fun picture as the book is tall and thin) and delivers the presents while pretending he does not notice the boy watching. Off he rides with all his favourite reindeer, and it's time for Christmas to begin! Told in verse that's perfect to recite aloud with all the family gathered around, this poem has stood the test of time since it was first written almost 200 years ago.
