The idea of Christmas Night Inc. began while I was working as a product designer for TPI Plastics USA in Amsterdam, New York. The building where I worked at 50 Willow Street, is of some significance because it has been home to Christmas Night Inc for the last 25 years.

TPI manufactured plastic Christmas, Garden, and Toy products. One of TPI’s largest customers buying Christmas figures was Walmart. However, among the products Walmart purchased from TPI were the Nativity Holy Family, the Shepherd, the Angel, and Animals, but no Three Kings. Walmart customers began calling and begging us for the Three Kings. We only sold wholesale and could not sell the Three Kings to Walmart's customers. The idea grew in my mind to start an online store selling the Three Kings to Walmart customers and perhaps others. It was 1999 when I incorporated Christmas Night Inc. and setup a Yahoo store to sell the Kings. The very day we opened our online store, we started getting orders.
