We make a holiday classic creepy! ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, originally known as ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas,’ was first published in 1823 in the Troy, New York, Sentinel. While it is well-known for shaping the modern image of Santa Claus, what’s lesser-known — and equally intriguing — is the mystery-shrouded controversy over who truly authored this iconic work.

The CN Tower is an iconic Canadian landmark. Standing at 553 meters or 1,815 feet, it is one of the tallest free-standing structures in the world. Contemplating the Tower, an intriguing idea crossed our minds.
