Night Before Christmas and all through the house not a creature with stirring not even a mouse the Moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave a Lester of midday to objects below when what to mind wondering eyes did appear but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer with a little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be saying Nick more rapid than Eagles his courses they came and he whistled and shouted and called them by name now - on comment on Cupid on Donner on blitzen to the top of the porch to the top of the wall now dash away Dash away Dash away all as leaves that before as 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 slave full of toys and Saint Nicholas to and then in a twinkling I heard on the roof the prancing and pawn of each little hoof as I drew in my head and was turning around down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound he was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot and the clothes were all tarnished with ashes and sick a bundle of toys he had flung on his back and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack his eyes how they twinkle his dimples hail Mary his cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry his droll little mouth with drawn up like a bow and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow the stump of a pipe he held tighten his teeth and the smoke it in circles with 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 he was chubby and plump a little roll old elf and I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself I'll link of his eye and the twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread he spoke with not a word he went straight to his work he filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk and laying his finger aside of his nose he gave a knot of the chimney he rose 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 from exclaim and he drove out this light Chris happy Christmas to all and to all a good night
