&quot;'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the base<br>Only sentries were stirring--they guarded the place.<br>The soldiers were sleeping and snoring away<br>As they dreamed of 'back home' on good Christmas Day...&quot;<br><br>One Christmas Eve at a military barracks in the Middle East, some homesick soldiers are paid a visit by Sergeant McClaus, the Santa of Soldiers. This lively and poignant tale is inspired by Clement C. Moore's classic yuletide poem.
