The Night Before Christmas in New York

by Betty Lou Phillips, Roblyn Herndon, Sheryl Dickert (Illustrator)

Overview

Santa visits the big city—and winds up playing himself in the Macy’s parade—in this merry take on the classic Christmas poem…

Santa’s pre-Christmas jitters start just before Thanksgiving, and Mrs. Claus knows just what he needs to boost his holiday spirit—a trip to fabulous NYC for a little R&R (and a little shopping for her).

Santa can’t help but laugh at the thought of how surprised everyone would be if they knew. The cheering of the children will boost Santa’s confidence for another year—and later that night, Mr. C borrows the parade sleigh to take a flight over all the boroughs of the city…

Just a month until Christmas, the happiest season. But Santa was sad, and said this was his reason: “The world’s population is growing so fast That I fear my supply of new toys will not last.
