CHARACTER
- He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack;
- His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
- His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
- His droll little month was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
- He had a broad face, and a little round belly that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old elf;
- He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
