The poem talks of a night before Christmas when a father of one family saw St. Nicholas descend through the chimney and fill the decorative stockings with gifts for the whole family. Wishing the family with <em>"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”</em>, he left the amused father. This began the concept of a Christmas Santa Claus visiting before the day of Christmas and giving gifts to the children.
