Twas the Night Before Christmas

Description

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
 
Clement Clarke Moore, A Visit from St. Nicholas

Book Context
The first iteration of this poem was composed in 1823. While Clement Clarke Moore took credit for the poem, some have proposed that poet Henry Livingston Jr. is the true author.

Notes on Scent
This is a reformulation of this scent blend inspired by the tea of the same name from Celestial Seasonings. My old blend used German Chamomile, which has a distinct earthiness that Roman Chamomile does not, so I switched to the latter. This is also my first time using tilia flower in a blend, and I guarantee I will bring it back, tilia flower is scrumptious and floral. Unfortunately, blackberry leaf and hawthorne (both in the tea blend), don’t have aromatic essential oils.

Notes on Texture
You know her, you love her, my classic T&G, now with a glittery fishbowl bead topper. This topper is very light in slime, so is not very playable on its own - however once in the slime there is zero fallout.

Notes on Book Charm Cover
Based on the book cover design of the 1879 illustrated edition of the poem.
