Is he joking? No. Or boasting? No, indeed. The fact is, he can not tell exactly all he feels as his ninth Christmas draws near, - that is, not word by word, any more than you know all that you mean when you cry Hurrah! On a happy day. He is only crying Hurrah!
So, dear boys and girls, near and far, on the land, on the ocean, in cities, on the mountains, wherever, and whoever, you may be, so that you bear the colors of youth, st. Nicholas greets you, and wishes you many happy returns!
