The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore
On Christmas Eve, a father recounts the magical visit of St. Nicholas to his home. As the family sleeps, the father is awakened by noises outside and witnesses the arrival of the jolly, plump figure in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. St. Nicholas, with his twinkling eyes and merry demeanor, enters the house through the chimney and fills the stockings with gifts before disappearing into the night, wishing everyone a "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" The poem captures the enchanting spirit and anticipation of Christmas.
