Santa And The Prostitute is the most commonly misrendered name for the famous Christmas poem "'Twas The Night Before Christmas". In much the same way The Inferno is the most widely known section of Dante's The Divine Comedy, and is now often mistaken for the name of Dante's masterpiece, this frame tale about a night in the life of Santa Claus is divided into three Cantos, of which Santa And The Prostitute is only the second part. Believed to have been written during the harsh winter of 1903, authorship is usually attributed to famed author Charles Dickens. The fact that Dickens had been long dead by this point is only seen as further proof that he wrote it - After all, no living man would dare write such base lies about the Snowy Lord, and hope to live to see the new year.
