T was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not 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. (Clement Clarke Moore)

T was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not 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.
