 Twas the night before Christmas and all through
the house

 Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.

 All the stockings were hung by the chimney with
care

 In the hope that Saint Niccholas soon would be
there.

 Then, what to my wondering eyes should
appear,

 A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,

 A little old driver so lively and quick,

 I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.

 And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all
came

 As he shouted On Dasher?and each reindeers
name.

 And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon
flew

 With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas,
too.

 Down the chimney he came with a leap and a
bound;

 He was dressed allin fur, and his belly was
round.

 He spoke not a word but went straight to his
work,

 And filled all the stocking, then turned with a
jerk.

 And laying his finger aside of his nose,

 Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.

 But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of
sight,

 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good
night!?
