The manger is lit, with the three wise men, the carolers are singing outside the church and the gingerbread people are outside playing. The packages are all wrapped under the tree and the candy-cane archway flanked by the drums leads the way to Santa who is here most nights to see all the good girls and boys. He will be passing out candy canes to those who are nice while those who are not had better think twice.
