The Navy's Night Before Christmas

by: Christine Ford, Trish Holland, John Manders
The Navy's Night Before Christmas
This story, written for military families, is about a visit from “the Santa of Sailors” to those who can't be home for Christmas.
 
'Twas the night before Christmas, when way out to sea
Not a creature was stirring to windward or lee.
The sailors were nestled all snug in their racks
Like orders of pancakes, so tight were the stacks.
 
One Christmas Eve out at sea, some homesick sailors are paid a visit by Master Chief Claus, the Santa of Sailors. This lively and poignant tale was inspired by Clement C. Moore's classic yuletide poem.
