Today in 1823

The Troy New York Sentinel published a well researched, unbiased, first person story called "Account of a Visit From St. Nicholas". Unlike today's New York reporting, the facts were never in doubt, which is why, I'm sure, we still enjoy it so.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there...

Thank you, Clement.
