The winter wind can be sharp and biting but the Midnight Visitor is dressed appropriately for his midnight journey. His thick wool coat and colorful scarf are blown by an icy gust of wind as a sturdy, gnarled walking stick helps him navigate snowdrifts. It’s Christmas Eve when all families are asleep, warm in their beds. The midnight sky is dark, the wind whistles through the trees. Guided by the light of his lantern, a symbol of the Light of the World, the faithful Midnight Visitor forges a path to bring gifts to us all.
