hey there i'm missy i'm brian and this
is ollie usually you can find us on our
youtube channel daily bumps but today
we're here on cool school for a very
special holiday episode of the story
circle and today we're reading one of my
all-time favorites the night before
christmas are you ready let's go
twas the night before christmas when all
through the house not a creature was
stirring not even a mouse sorry the
stockings were hung by the chimney with
care in hopes that saint nicholas soon
would be there the children were nestled
all snug in their beds while visions of
sugar plums danced in their heads
and mama and 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
the window i flew like a flash tore open
the shutters and threw up the sash when
what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer with a little old driver so
lively and quick i knew in a moment it
must be saint nick more rapid than
eagles his coursers they came and he
whistled and shouted and called them by
name now dasher now dancer now prancer
and vixen on comet on cupid on donner
and blitzen to the top of the porch to
the top of the wall now dash away dash
away dash away all
so up to the housetop the coursers they
flew with a sleigh full of toys in saint
nicholas too and then in a twinkling i
heard on the roof the prancing and pine
of each little hoof as i drew in my hand
and was turning around down the chimney
saint nicholas came with a bound
he was dressed all in fur from his head
to his foot and his clothes were all
tarnished with ashes and soot
a bundle of toys he had flung on his
back and he looked like a peddler just
opening his pack his eyes how they
twinkled his dimples how merry his
cheeks were like roses his nose like a
cherry his draw little mouth was drawn
up like a bow and the beard of his chin
was as white as the snow he had a broad
face and a little round belly that shook
when he laughed like a bowl full of
jelly he was chubby and plump a right
jolly old elf and i laughed when i saw
him in spite of myself a wink of his eye
and a twist of his head soon gave me to
know i had nothing to dread he spoke not
a word but went straight to his work and
he filled all the stockings that turned
with a jerk and laying his finger aside
of his nose and giving a nod up the
chimney he rose he sprang to a sleigh to
his team gave a whistle and away they
all flew like the down of a thistle but
i heard him exclaim arie drove out of
sight happy christmas to all and to all
a good night
