美國詩人Clement Clarke Moore 在1822年寫下的詩: Twas The Night Before Christmas Poem流傳了近兩個世紀,至今仍常在平安夜被人們朗誦著......耶誕夜期待圣誕老公公造訪的心情,馴鹿雪橇飛過天際的聲音,逐漸接近的腳步,圣誕老人從煙囪爬下來了..... .他的眼睛閃閃發亮,酒窩蕩漾著喜氣,臉頰像玫瑰,鼻子像櫻桃,胡須白得像雪.....送來了禮物,他一句話也沒說,只做該做的事,將禮物裝滿所有的襪子,轉身就走,上了雪橇飛上天空,圣誕老人大聲喊著:"Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!"......經典的圣誕詩篇,多年來由不同的繪者為它畫上插畫出版,不斷的讓大家歌頌......這次團的版本是著名畫家查理斯·斯通(Charles Santore)的作品,非常唯美。
