    Take the name of a famous male person from a European country, who liked to be moving on their feet, couple him with a facial feature of a deep colour, who is ultimately in the showers not cheap and you have a person to serenade at the festive season.

    Margaret how deliciously obscure - I'm stretching my brain on this one and coming up a blank, most vexing. But I've not quite given up yet ...

    I will let you stretch your brain a little CT. Just let me know if you need a clue.

    I'm struggling with "who is ultimately in the showers not cheap" as it doesn't make sense to my poor addled brain.

    Hi CT

    Think of a word, the opposite of cheap (what you might call a loved one) and what comes down in a shower.

    The challange is seasonal.

    Its only a temporary setback you're experiencing.

    OK clue needed? This four footed character has a colourful feature, and he is a great help to Santa.

    Twas the nocturnal segment of the diurnal period preceding the annual Yuletide celebration and through our place of residence, kinetic activity was not in evidence among the possessors of this potential, including that species of domestic rodent known as Mus musculus. Hosiery was meticulously suspended from the forward edge of the woodburning caloric apparatus, pursuant to our anticipatory pleasure regarding an imminent visitation from an eccentric philanthropist among whose folkloric appellations is the honourific title of St Nicklaus ...
    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.

    Is it this poem?


    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.
