Original artwork description:

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;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

This painting illustrates these lines of this famous poem. It has been painted in bright colours on board and can be signed on the back or front as preferred and dedicated if wished
