"'Twas the Night Before Christmas"

??Twas the Night Before Christmas? is about a classic ?legend? on what people have (in their view) of what it?s like that special night when Santa Clause comes and visits their houses. This book teaches little children what it?s like to stay up on a Christmas Eve and wait for Santa to come around. It also teaches/tells how he/Santa gets in and out of their house without making any sort of noise. This book would have to be for children who are under the age of 10. I would recommend this book to anyone who is very interested in knowing what Santa does when he comes to your house and what it?s like.

A special presentation of the classics

How many times have you heard and seen Clement Clarke Moore's classic "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," and how many ways have you heard the Biblical story of the Nativity told? How often do you find them presented with equal reverence and restraint in the same book? This book has dreamy illustrations and tellings of both stories, first of Santa, then of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, followed by the words and notes of classic Christmas carols. I loved this book since I bought it about eight or nine years ago for my future children (now ages 8 mos and 3 years). I was so sad when it was spoiled by a spilled cup of milk. It is out of print now, but I am on the hunt at used book stores in person and online. Worth finding. My 3-year-old had me read it to her again and again this past holiday season.
