‘Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse!
The stockings all hung
By the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas
Soon would be there!
The children were nestled
All safe in their beds
While visions of sugarplums
Danced in their heads!
And Mom in her kerchief
And I in my cap
Had just settled down
For a long winter's nap!
When out on the lawn
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 shutters
And threw up the sash!
