[00:00:09] Twas the night before Christmas

[00:00:11] When all through the house

[00:00:13] Not a creature was stirring

[00:00:15] Not even a mouse

[00:00:17] The stockings were hung

[00:00:18] By the chimney with care

[00:00:20] In hopes that St Nicholas

[00:00:22] Soon would be there

[00:00:24] The children were nestled

[00:00:26] All snug in their beds

[00:00:27] While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads

[00:00:32] When out on the lawn

[00:00:33] There arose such a clatter

[00:00:35] I sprang from the bed

[00:00:36] To see what was the matter

[00:00:38] Away to the window

[00:00:39] I flew like a flash

[00:00:41] Tore open the shutters

[00:00:42] And threw up the sash

[00:00:44] The moon on the breast

[00:00:46] Of the new-fallen snow

[00:00:47] Gave the lustre of mid-day

[00:00:50] To objects below

[00:00:52] When what to my

[00:00:53] Wondering eyes should appear

[00:00:55] But a miniature sleigh

[00:00:57] And eight tinny reindeer

[00:00:59] With a little old driver so lively and quick

[00:01:02] I knew in a lay stone

[00:01:03] It must be St Nick

[00:01:06] More rapid than eagles

[00:01:07] His coursers they came

[00:01:09] And he whistled and shouted

[00:01:10] And called them by name

[00:01:13] Now Dasher now Dancer

[00:01:14] Now Prancer and Vixen

[00:01:16] On Comet on Cupid

[00:01:17] On on Donner and Blitzen

[00:01:19] To the top of the porch

[00:01:20] To the top of the wall

[00:01:22] Now dash away dash away dash away all

[00:01:26] And then in a twinkling

[00:01:27] I heard on the roof

[00:01:28] The prancing and pawing

[00:01:29] Of each little hoof

[00:01:32] As I drew in my head

[00:01:33] And was turning around

[00:01:35] Down the chimney St Nicholas

[00:01:37] Came with a bound

[00:01:39] He was dressed all in fur

[00:01:41] From his head to his foot

[00:01:42] And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot

[00:01:46] A bundle of Toys

[00:01:48] He had flung on his back

[00:01:50] And he looked like a peddler

[00:01:51] Just opening his pack

[00:01:53] His eyes-how they twinkled

[00:01:55] His dimples how merry

[00:01:57] His cheeks were like roses

[00:01:58] And his nose like a cherry

[00:02:00] His droll little mouth

[00:02:02] Was drawn up like a bow

[00:02:04] And the beard of his chin

[00:02:05] Was as white as the snow

[00:02:07] He was chubby and plump

[00:02:09] A right jolly old elf

[00:02:11] And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself

[00:02:15] A wink of his eye

[00:02:17] And a twist of his head

[00:02:18] Soon gave me to know

[00:02:20] I had nothing to dread

[00:02:22] He spoke not a word

[00:02:24] But went straight to his work

[00:02:25] And filled all the stockings

[00:02:27] Then turned with a jerk

[00:02:29] And laying his finger

[00:02:31] Aside of his nose

[00:02:32] And giving a nod

[00:02:33] Up the chimney he rose

[00:02:35] He sprang to his sleigh

[00:02:37] To his team gave a whistle

[00:02:39] And away they flew

[00:02:40] Like the down of a thistle

[00:02:43] But I heard him exclaim

[00:02:44] 'Ere he drove out of sight

[00:02:46] Marry Christmas to all

[00:02:48] And to all a good-night
