The Night Before Christmas - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]

'Twas the night before Christmas [00:00:01]

When all through the house[00:00:02]

Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse [00:00:04]

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care [00:00:08]

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there [00:00:11]

The children were nestled all snug in their beds [00:00:16]

While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads [00:00:20]

And Mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap [00:00:24]

Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap [00:00:28]

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter [00:00:32]

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter [00:00:36]

Away to the window I flew like a flash [00:00:40]

Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash [00:00:44]

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow[00:00:48]

Gave the lustre of midday to objects below [00:00:52]

When what to my wondering eyes should appear [00:00:56]

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer [00:01:00]

With a little old driver so lively and quick [00:01:05]

I knew in a moment it must be St Nick [00:01:08]

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came [00:01:12]

And he whistled and shouted[00:01:16]

And called them by name:[00:01:18]

"Now Dasher Now Dancer [00:01:21]

Now Prancer and Vixen [00:01:25]

On Comet On Cupid [00:01:28]

On Donner and Blitzen [00:01:31]

To the top of the porch [00:01:33]

To the top of the wall [00:01:35]

Now dash away Dash away [00:01:37]

Dash away all "[00:01:40]

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly [00:01:43]

When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky[00:01:46]

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew [00:01:50]

With the sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too [00:01:55]

And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof[00:02:00]

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof [00:02:04]

As I drew in my head and was turning around [00:02:07]

Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound [00:02:12]

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot [00:02:16]

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot [00:02:21]

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back [00:02:25]

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack [00:02:29]

His eyes--how they twinkled His dimples how merry [00:02:33]

His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry [00:02:40]

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow [00:02:45]

And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow [00:02:49]

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth [00:02:54]

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath [00:02:58]

He had a broad face and a little round belly [00:03:02]

That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly [00:03:07]

He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf [00:03:11]

And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself [00:03:16]

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head[00:03:21]

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread [00:03:24]

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work [00:03:28]

And filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk [00:03:33]

And laying his finger aside of his nose [00:03:38]

And giving a nod up the chimney he rose [00:03:41]

He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle [00:03:45]

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle [00:03:50]

But I heard him exclaim 'ere he drove out of sight [00:03:55]

"Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night "[00:04:00]
