First edition. Signed, "Happy / Holidays! / Best Wishes, / Robert / Sabuda". 8-1/4 x 8-1/4", unpaginated; printed blue paper over boards with bright crimson shelfback. Fine. Six double-page pop-ups with five smaller pop-ups in Sabuda's signature white. The pop-ups, as one has come to expect with this master, are brilliantly conceived. The pop-up of the narrator's dash to the window to see Santa Claus and his sleigh has a shade, with a dangling pull, sliding up as the pop-up opens. Another has the eight reindeer coming right out toward the viewer. The last depicts the quiet town - houses, church, bridge, and streets - against a mountain backdrop with scudding clouds above; a pull-tab brings the eight reindeer and the sleigh across the sky amidst whirling snow flakes. The family, by the way, are mice and the illustrator invests them with considerable charm. A thoroughly captivating rendering of the classic Christmas verse.
