Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, was the last and most welcome seasonal visitor to the Victorian household on Christmas Eve. In the deep hours of the night, laden with gifts and presents, he visits every deserving child and silently fills their stockings, returns up the chimney and disappears into the night sky.

The Stockings were hung by the chimney. With his departure the whole family slept, no doubt with visions of the day to come. |
| Little dreamer sleep sound, for Santa Claus will stop here on his journey tonight! |
