Thanks, MVP. 
I guess digital doesn't have to mean 'dull'.

Henry Livingston, Jr. He's the man who wrote 'The Night Before Christmas'.
Yes, people used to believe it was Clement Clarke Moore. Moore hated kids.... He just got credit for the poem by accident.

"Henry Livingston, Jr. laugh He's the man who wrote 'The Night Before Christmas'" [Dmitri]
There has been more and more research recently into the authorship of that poem. The 21st century has been the time when it was decided.

Good article, thanks!
I'd run across this research in a New York State historical journal. It's a convincing argument.

The Livingstons are going to give me a headache. Robert R Livingston helped draft the Declaration of Independence, and Philip Livingston signed it. There are *three* prominent Henry B Livingstons (1748-1828 and 1757-1823 and a third one who died in 1831).

No indeed! Great effect - almost like Pointillism. The colour contrasts are pleasing to my eyes as well
