The Night Before Christmas Song

'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 Nicholas 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 reindeer's 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 all in 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 where he drove out of sight
 "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
 But I heard him exclaim where he drove out of sight
 "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
