T’was the night before Christmas, and all through station All was quiet except for our snoring dalmatian.

What is a Sugar Plum? -Why is it Dancing in my Head?I dont know a single person who isnt familiar with Clement Moores poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas or, as I know it Twas the Night Before Christmas. Stories will say it was written on an actual snowy night before Christmas, while traveling through Greenwich Village by sleigh.These days, the poem is more likely to prompt a question than a vision: what exactly is a sugarplum and, almost more importantly, why was it doing so much dancing back in the early 19th century? This story has left lasting memories of Santa Claus, with his white beard, nose like a cherry and round belly that shook like a bowl full of jelly. As the story goes, the children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. Im not sure about you, but I have no idea what a sugar plum is or why it would be dancing in my head.Candytoday is greatly different than it was in 1823. The immensely popular sugar plum seems to be missing from the candy shelves. A sugar plum is a piece of drage or hard candy made of hardened sugar in a small oval or round shape. The use of the term plum in the name does not mean plum in the sense of the fruit we know and love. Instead, it refers to the small size and spherical shape. The traditional sugar plum actually contained no fruit at all. These hardened sugar balls were comfits and often surrounded a seed, nut or spice. Sugar Plum Comfits In the 17th century, the term sugar plum became common. At that time, adding the layers of sweet which gave these comfits their hard exterior, was through a slow process called panning.This process-called panninghad to be repeated for hours or days on end, until up to 30 layers of sugar had been added to the mix. Because of the labor-intensive work, it became mainly a luxury item. By the 1860's however, they were using steam heat and rotating pans, and it became more available for mass consumption.According to candy historians and theOxford English Dictionary, a sugar plum is a comfitthat is, a seed, nut, or scrap of spice coated with a layer of hard sugar, like the crunchy outer case of an M&M. In the 17th century, popular innards for comfits included caraway, fennel, coriander, cardamom seeds, almonds, walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, and anise seed.

Everyone anxiously awaited the arrival of a messiah. Nobody expected it to happen on a midnight clear in a stable behind an inn, but that's exactly what happened. The Night Before Christmas, The Very First One is the story of the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah the world was waiting for.

" But this year a mistake was made that changed Christmas for Leo...forever. _____________________ What People Are Saying...

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Once upon a time, children imagined St. Nicholas as a stern, skinny bishop who was as likely to dole out discipline as Christmas presents. But thanks to the poem "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas"--written by Clement C. Moore in 1822 and published the next year in the Troy Sentinel--a plumper, merrier St. Nick was born, transformed into the sleigh-riding, chimney-diving jolly old elf we now call Santa Claus. With gorgeous monochrome illustrations by Matt Tavares that are meticulously true to pre-Victorian times, this reissue of the holiday favorite 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas honors the poem's original language in a definitive keepsake volume.
