'Twas The Night Before Christmas (or A Visit from St. Nicholas) is the quintessential Christmas poem that established much of the modern Santa Claus mythology. The poem, written by Clement Clarke Moore, uses vivid, rhythmic couplets to describe the silent house before the arrival of St. Nick, his landing on the roof, his magical entrance down the chimney, and his filling of the stockings. The text is rich in imagery and rhyme, making it an enduring holiday tradition for reading aloud. This book version features illustrations that bring the classic, magical night to life, capturing the anticipation, the wonder, and the cozy, warm atmosphere of Christmas Eve.
