Time to go to sleep 'cause Christmas is coming soon!

N: 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Now it's time to go to bed. That's what everybody said. Brush your teeth, put PJ's on, wash your face and start to yawn.

Now it's time to go to bed. That's what everybody said.

Now it's time to go to sleep. Close your eyes and count some sheep. When you wake from this long night, Santa will have made his flight.

Now it's time to go to sleep. Close your eyes and count... some sheep.

Sleep.

N: The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Photo by kevin dooley

N: The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.

Photo by kevin dooley

Can't you see those lovely sugar plums? Dancing here, dancing there, dancing all around.

Can't you see those lovely sugar plums? Jumping here, jumping there, jumping up and down.

Can't you see those lovely sugar plums? Hopping here, popping there, never make a sound.

They're so yummy!
In my tummy!
Nice and gummy!
Sugar Plums!

N: And mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled down for a long winter's nap

N: When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Photo by caruba

N: Away to the windows I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

Photo by caruba

N: The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the luster of midday to objects below.

Photo by caruba

N: When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

Photo by caruba

N: With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

Photo by kevin dooley

Jolly Old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way. Don't you tell a single soul, what I'm going to say.

Photo by Bernzilla

Christmas Eve is coming soon. Now, you dear old man, whisper what you'll bring to me. Tell me if you can.

Photo by Rob Boudon

Have you heard about St. Nick at night? Trav'ling all across the world in flight.

Photo by Matti Mattila

Carrying a great big sack, and delivering toys in no time flat!

Christmas Eve he will be at your house.
Keeping very quiet as a mouse.

Photo by Joffley

Landing right up on your roof, in the morning look for proof!

Photo by jenny downing

When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep. Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep.

All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row. Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know.

That's Good St. Nick at Night!

N: More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came. And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name!

Photo by caruba

N: Now Dasher, Now Dancer, Now Prancer and Vixen! On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner and Blitzen!

Photo by kevin dooley

N: To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away, all!

Photo by [Jim]

N: As dry leaves, that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

Photo by caruba

N: So up to the housetop the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas, too.

Photo by Pétur Gauti

N: And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

Wake up! I think I hear
Santa and his eight reindeer.
I knew they would arrive,
I'm the luckiest kid alive!

I said the reindeer, the reindeer... are on the roof.
They're on the roof!

Photo by kevin dooley

Wake up! I think I see lots of presents just for me. They've loaded up the sleigh getting ready for this big day!

Photo by Wysz

I said the reindeer, the reindeer... are on the roof.
They're on the roof!

Photo by kevin dooley

I hear them prancing. I hear them dancing. They're so entrancing.
Reindeer on the roof!

I hear their hoof beat.
It's sounding so sweet.
They're here on my street.
Reindeer on the roof!

Wake up! I think I hear
Santa and his eight reindeer.
I knew they would arrive,
I'm the luckiest kid alive!

I said the reindeer, the reindeer are on the roof!

Reindeer on the roof.
Reindeer on the roof.

N: As I drew in my head, and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

Photo by caruba

N: He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

Photo by kevin dooley

N: A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

Photo by kevin dooley

N: His eyes, how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

Photo by Pétur Gauti

N: His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

Photo by pareeerica

N: The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.

N: He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

Photo by miuenski

N: He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.

Photo by C. Strife

When I look at Santa, what do I see? A smiling face with twinkling eyes gazing down at me.

Photo by scottfidd

When I look at Santa, what do I see? A gentle touch, a joyful heart, what I want to be.

Photo by rishibando

When I look at Santa, what do I know? That he is giving, he is kind, everywhere he goes.

When I look at Santa, what do I know? that he can teach me many things, help my heart to grow.

Santa is generous, Santa is good. Santa loves everyone, just like we should.

He's what I want to be.

N: A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

Photo by bsabarnowl

N: He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk.

Photo by TempusVolat

N: And laying a finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

N: He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

N: But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight...
