Amid the many celebrations last Christmas Eve, in various places by different persons, there was one, in New York City, not like any other anywhere. A company of men, women, and children went together just after the evening service in their church, and, standing around the tomb of the author of 'A Visit from St. Nicholas, ' recited together the words of the poem which we all know so well and love so dearly.
