Here are his best-known illustrations of Santa Claus and Christmas. Included are his drawings of Santa perched atop snowy chimneys and his patriotic Civil War drawing, Santa Claus in Camp. Here are the first illustrations of Santa's workshop at the North Pole, of Santa in his sleigh, of Santa opening his mail and making a record of children's behavior. Here, too, are Nast's gently humorous drawings of children on Christmas Eve, showing them hanging enormous stockings, standing innocently under mistletoe, tracing Santa's route on a map of the world, and waiting up all night to catch a glimpse of Santa.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains all of the familiar and beloved drawings which appeared in the 1890 edition of \u003ci\u003eThomas Nast's Christmas Drawings for the Human Race\u003c\/i\u003e.
