A stylish take-off on Clement Clarke Moore's poem The night before Christmas, a.k.a. A visit from St. Nicholas.

Santa's pre-Christmas jitters start just before Thanksgiving, and Mrs. Claus knows just what he needs to boost his holiday spirit--a trip to fabulous NYC for a little R&R (and a little shopping for her). They're checking out chic stores when what should happen but the Macy's parade official spots this Santa on the street and convinces him to "substitute" for the "substitute" Santa in the parade.

Despite the grandeur in which Louis XIV and his descendants Louis XV and Louis XVI lived in the magnificent Château de Versailles, extravagance rarely suggests elegance these days. Befitting spaces less assumedly scaled than the vast palace, alluring, of-the-moment interiors exude a more discreet cachet. Clean, not stuffy, reflects our culture and the times.

It's Christmas night when a freezing-cold Santa decides to look for a warm midwinter vacation spot while on his magical trip 'round the world delivering toys. Of course, Mrs. Claus wants to be in on the fun, so she climbs aboard. They have their sights on Texas and take a flight over the state pointing out cities, landscapes, and attractions of the great Lone Star state!
