The scene shifts from bedtime calm to a moonlit spectacle: a miniature sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer arrives, guided by St Nicholas. With vivid descriptions of his appearance and cheerful actions, the poem follows the delivery of toys into stockings and ends with a warm Christmas greeting and night-time blessing.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/","Story

Days of Christmas24The Little Match Girl36  \n’Twas theNight  \n# Before Christmas\n\nAdapted by Jillian HarkerIllustrated by Jane Swift  \n’Twas the Night Before Christmas  \n'Twas the night before Christmas,  \nWhen all through the house  \nNot a creature was stirring-not even a mouse!  \nThe stockings were hung by the chimney with care,  \nIn hope that St Nicholas soon would be there.  \nThe children were nestled allsnug in their beds,While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.  \nAnd Mama 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 my bed to see what was the matter.  \nAway to the window,I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.  \nThe moon,on the back of the new-fallen snow,  \nGave the lustre of midday to objects below.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 St Nick!  \nMore rapid than eagles,his coursers they cameAnd he whistled and shouted and called them by name.\"Now,Dasher!Now,Dancer!Now,Prancer and Vixen!  \nOn,Comet!On,Cupid!On,Donner and Blitzen!  \nTo the top of the porch!To the top of the wall!  \nNow,dash away,dash away,dash away all!  \nAs dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle,mount to the sky.\"  \nSo,up to the housetop,the coursers they flew,  \nWith the sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas,too.  \nAnd then,in a twinkling,I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head and was turning around,Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.  \nHe was dressed all in fur,from his head to his footAnd his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.  \nA bundle of toys,he had flung on his backAnd he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack.His eyes-how they twinkled!His dimples-how merry!  \nHis cheeks were like roses,his nose like a cherry!  \nHis droll,little mouth was drawn up in a bowAnd the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.  \nThe stump of a pipe,he held tight in his teethAnd the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.  \nHe had a broad face and a little round belly,That shook when it laughed,like a bowl full of jelly!  \nHe was chubby and plump,a right jolly,old elfAnd I laughed when I saw him,in spite of myself.  \nA 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 workAnd filled all the stockings,then turned with a jerk.  \nAnd laying his finger aside of his noseAnd giving a nod,up the chimney he rose.He sprang to his sleigh,to his team gave a whistleAnd away they all flew,like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim,'ere he drove out of sight,\"Happy Christmas to all and to all,a good
