Santa Claus. For most of the year he and his helpers toil and on one day, Christmas Eve, he and his reindeer race the globe delivering toys, candy and things to good children the world over.

In this collection of short fiction, a letter and two poems, Mark Redfield narrates three American voices on the subject of Jolly Old Saint Nick.

“Letter From Santa Clause” by Mark Twain is and actual letter that Twain wrote and left one Christmas morning to his daughter. An expression of a father’s love.

In the delightful poem “The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus” American humorist Ogden Nash tells the story of a very naughty boy from Baltimore who wasn’t anybody’s idea of a gift.

And from weird tales author H. P. Lovecraft comes a poem surprising in it's joyous holiday spirit, “Good St. Nick”.

It’s a good time to believe in Santa Claus.

And what of Rudolph? We conclude the program with composer Jennifer Rouse’s arrangement of Johnny Mark’s popular song, which she calls “Rudolph’s Nightmare” !
