Nicholas</strong></div><div style="margin:10px 0">'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house,<br>Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;<br>The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<br>In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;<br>The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br>While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads,<br>And mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,<br>Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap--<br>When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br>I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br>Away to the window I flew like a flash,<br>Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.<br>The boon on the breast of the new fallen snow,<br>Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below;<br>When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br>But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,<br>With a little old driver, so lively and quick,<br>I new in a moment it must be St. Nick.<br>More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,<br>And he whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name:<br>&quot;Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen,<br>&quot;On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem;<br>&quot;To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!<br>&quot;Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!&quot;<br>As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,<br>When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;<br>So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,<br>With the sleigh full of Toys--and St. Nicholas too:<br>And then in a twinkling, I heard on the root<br>The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.<br>As I drew in my head, and was turning around,<br>Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound:<br>He was dress'd in fur, from his head to his foot,<br>And his clothes were all tarnish'd with ashes and soot;<br>A bundle of toys was flung on his back,<br>And he look'd like a peddler just opening his pack:<br>His eyes--how they twinkled! his dimples how merry,<br>His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;<br>His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow.<br>And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;<br>The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,<br>And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.<br>He had a broad face, and a little round belly<br>That shook when he laugh'd, like a bowl full of jelly:<br>He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,<br>And I laugh'd when I saw him in spite of myself;<br>A wink of his eye hand a twist of his head<br>Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.<br>He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br>And fill'd all the stockings; and turn'd with a jerk,<br>And laying his finger aside of his nose<br>And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.<br>He spring to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br>And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:<br>But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of site--<br>Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Major+Henry+Livingston+Jr.">Major Henry Livingston Jr.</a><div class=q>
