"As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too"

This quote by Clement Clarke Moore is a metaphor comparing the movement of Santa's reindeer to the movement of dry leaves in a wild cyclone. The dry leaves are blown around by the wind, and when they experience a barrier, they are lifted up into the sky. Likewise, Santa's reindeer flew as much as the house-top with the sleigh filled with toys and St. Nicholas. This quote is a suggestion of the power of nature and the magic of Christmas. It is a reminder that even when faced with challenges, we can still find ways to conquer them and reach our goals. The quote also acts as a pointer of the delight and excitement of Christmas, and how it can bring people together. It is a suggestion of the power of belief and the power of creativity.
