The popular book, "Twas The Night Before Christmas" has been revised "by Santa Claus for the benefit of children of the 21st century." The original version of the famous poem included the line, "The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath." The new version omits the line and a picture of Santa smoking a pipe.
Publisher Pamela McColl said, "There is a huge debate raging. I have been called every name in the book. One person said the only wreath they want to see this Christmas is one on my grave. Shame, shame, shame on you is the most common." (Oregon Live)
