About the A Visit From St. Nick set: In 2021, the USPS issued a set of four Forever stamps picturing different scenes from the classic Christmas poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas.” The set was even named after the poem, though shortened slightly to A Visit From St. Nick. The stamps picture St. Nicholas on a roof about to go down a chimney, a fireplace with stockings, St. Nicholas winking, and a view of him flying across the sky in his sleigh.
History the stamp represents: When Christmas Eve night arrives each year, many children can’t help but try to stay awake waiting for St. Nicholas to come. Perhaps some of that can be attributed to the famous poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore.
In Moore’s tale, the narrator is a father who wakes up in the middle of the night after hearing a strange sound. He soon discovers that it’s St. Nicholas arriving to deliver presents for the narrator’s children. Moore describes St. Nicholas in detail and indicates that he narrator is a little nervous at having accidentally disturbed the “jolly old elf.” However, the poem goes on to say that St. Nicholas gave “A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,” to let the narrator know he “had nothing to dread.”
Nearly everyone who celebrates Christmas has heard Clement Clarke Moore’s classic poem at least once in their lifetime. It’s a heartwarming tale that lends excitement to all who hear it. After all, St. Nicholas is a mysterious and magical character. Who wouldn’t want to meet him on Christmas Eve and experience all that magic for themselves? But everyone knows old St. Nick has a knack for arriving just when we’ve fallen asleep, so Moore’s poem is the next best thing to seeing him firsthand.
