No smoke coming out the chimney?
Nothing like that. However.. one might argue that the glow in
fireplace would be inconsistent for the safety of Santa to
descend down the chimney of the narrator's home. But we know
that Santa has magical abilities to hold his stomach in and
navigate creosote-laden chimneys with ease - but it's not that.
Or the fact that "Not a creature was stirring", but there
is a fire in the fireplace, and what looks like a cup of
tea on the stool?
Hmmm.. something like that! ;) but not that. The cup on the
stool could be a remnant of the narrator's evening. We know he
was in bed at the start of the story.
But.. a couple of things in the images are still contraditory
to the story.
