The Night Before Christmas (1848)

Here are a few web versions of a little book entitled A Visit from St. Nicholas which was written by a gentleman named Mr. Clement C. Moore. (Note: a pard recently decided to move this poem from his site to mine. Thanks, Ted!)

Below is an animated version of the 1848 edition illustrated with the original woodcuts. I hope you enjoy it--and best wishes for a very merry holiday season! (See links below for other options.)
