Still a delight to read after all these years ...
A cute illustrated book of the classic poem. It brings so much nostalgia and good memories.
A lovely, festive, and timeless Christmas poem which really fills me with the Christmas spirit.
I just love this beautiful edition. It’s huge and my favorite is the big pull out page!! Sorry the pics aren’t the greatest. I have to go to the computer now to upload my own pics so I got the ones out in the ethos! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads,- The opening lines of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.'Twas the Night Before Christmas or A Visit from St. Nicholas, by Clement Clarke Moore is arguably one of the most popular Christmastide themed
Re-read the copy Gammy & Grandy gave me for Christmas in 1972. I love the illustrations in this edition more every single year.

This is one of my most treasured Christmas books to read over the holiday season, particularly on Christmas Eve. I believe most people already know the classic poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement C. Moore, and I just reviewed another vintage edition that we read every year, but this version is also grand. This picture book contains beautiful illustrations that are lifelike and enchanting. It's one to keep. 5*****
The Night Before Christmas: The Classic Account of the Visit from St. Nicholas, Clement C. MooreClement Clarke Moore (July 15, 1779 - July 10, 1863) was an American writer and Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night! Since it first appeared anonymously in 1823 as A Visit from St. Nicholas. It is, and always has been, the quintessential holiday tale. It's a must-have stocking filler for readers aged 5 and up. This book contains beautiful illu...
Merry Christmas, all you who celebrate this day, one way or the other!Every year, in some fashion, I read this aloud to the kids. This is one of the old classic illustrated versions, more for me than the kids, in a way, though we have five versions of it around the house this time. Everyone likes it, though this year the eldest mimics some of the action that I describe, lightly making fun of it. He has this idea Santa no longer exists! Where do these kids nowadays get this fake news!? Here it is...
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,...In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.Away to
I couldn't resist --- got this as another early Christmas present for my youngest daughter (4 years old). Like with "How the Grinch Who Stole Christmas", she loved it. Unfortunately, I will be away from home, working this Christmas --- but she liked this so much, she wants me to read it to her via video chat on Christmas Eve. So --- definitely a 5-star rating. A classic every parent ought to read to their kids during the Christmas season!
This is a version of the classic poem illustrated by Jessie Smith in 1912. (I couldn’t find a correct entry in Goodreads, this is the best I could do.) I rather enjoy the artwork and I recognize a few panels that companies use for Santa Claus. I haven’t seen this one. Santa isn’t all in red, but dark clothes with soot and ashes on him. The artwork reminds me of turn of the century coca-cola product art.The kids love this poem. From the Treasure of Winter-time Tales.
At what age did you stop believing in Santa Claus? Last Christmas, I still had to buy something for my daughter and wrote “From: Santa Claus” on the gift tag because she still believed in him. She was 16.This morning while I was about to drop her at the gate of her school, she again borrowed the rosary hanging on the rearview mirror of my car. The rosary was a gift from my friend who attended the World Youth’s Day in Brazil this year so I am proud of it and taking care of it. The beads are made
My review disappeared, so annoying. I had completed my 2021 reading challenge of 325 books and now it's down to 323, Goodreads says 'better luck next year' The reviews for this book seem to have been combined with other reviews for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas illustrated by other illustrators. This review is for the recently published P.J Lynch version.This much awaited picture book was really disappointing, I love this illustrator and was expecting another 5 star read. Maybe there was some...
I have read this story every Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember, it's always been part of our Christmas traditions and it will always have a special place in my part because of that.I don't think there are many people out there that aren't familiar with this poem by Clement C. Moore that was originally published in 1823. Theres a reason it's a classic and that's because it captures the magic of Christmas. We've had many versions of the book over the years but the one we read from now is...

Neo led us through this holiday classic that never fails to put me in the mood for Christmas. Perhaps it is the silence in the house or the stirring atop the roof, but I can never get enough of the story. When St. Nick calls on his reindeer to make a soft landing and he exits to deliver presents, all I can think of is the gleam in the eye of little children (and Neo) to see what might be left. With some challenging words for Neo to tackle, especially those not usually used any longer, he was abl...
