'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were
hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there Twas the Night Before Christmas
Slide 41
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions
of sugar plums danced in their heads. And Mama in her 'kerchief,
and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter's
nap.
Slide 42
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang from
my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a
flash, tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
Slide 43
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the luster
of midday to objects below, when, what to my wondering eyes should
appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
Slide 44
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a
moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles, his coursers
they came, and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On,
Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! To the top
of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
Slide 45
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they
meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky so up to the house-top the
coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas
too.
Slide 46
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and
pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning
around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
Slide 47
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his
clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he
had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening
his pack.
Slide 48
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks
were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was
drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke
it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a
little round belly, that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of
jelly.
Slide 49
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed
when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist
of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
Slide 50
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled
all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger
aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
Slide 51
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away
they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim,
'ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a
good night!"

Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way! Dont you tell a
single soul, What Im going to say; Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now, you dear old man, Whisper what youll bring to me: Tell me if
you can. When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep; All
the stockings you will find Hanging in a row; Mine will be the
shortest one, You'll be sure to know. Johnny wants a pair of
skates, Suzy wants a dolly; Nellie wants a story book; She thinks
dolls are folly; As for me, my little brain isnt very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus. What you think is right. Jolly Old
St Nicholas
