Yuletide at Wheatland | Lancaster, PA

Category: Spark by Hilton LancasterSteven @ 10:36 am

‘Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

So begins one of the most beloved and well-known pieces of Christmas literature ever published. Written by Clement C. Moore in 1822, A Visit from St. Nick helped to shape the public perception of that most elusive fellow, St. Nicholas, AKA- Santa Claus. From his method of travel (sleigh pulled by reindeer, naturally) to his manner of dress (head to toe fur) and physical description (rosy red cheeks, belly that shakes like a bowlful of jelly) Moore’s uncanny description stuck in the American psyche and became the commonly accepted appearance of the December 24th globe trotter.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas—Reimagined is the fictionalized account written by Jennifer Walton and James Bollinger of what might have happened in the Moore household to have inspired his Christmas poem.

Visitors to Wheatland during Yuletide will enter the Moore household on Christmas Eve. Mr. Moore is hard at work, with nary a thought given to the impending festivities. Guests watch and interact with the story that unfolds before them as they move through the mansion, going from the Moore house to the North Pole and back again…all in 50 minutes! Along the way, observant guests will hear and see the things that inspired Clement Moore, including his encounter with the jolly old elf, St. Nick himself! Mischievous elves, polar bears, mountains of wrapped presents, and St. Nick’s sleigh also await! Book your stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Lancaster, PA to revisit one of the best past times of Christmas ! You can book your stay by calling our toll free number at 888-STAY-FFI or by going onto our website HERE.
