Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Night Before Christmas by Clement C Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas. It is our Christmas tradition to read this poem on Christmas Eve before we put out the mince pies and brandy for Santa Claus. “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas” is a Christmas poem that was at first published anonymously then claimed as written by Clement Clarke Moore. There has been some controversy over the author of the poem, however it is widely accepted that many of our modern conceptions of Father Christmas is thanks to this poem. The poem was originally titled ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’ and it has affectionately been referred to by the first line of the poem: ‘Twas the night before Christmas’. Sometimes the poem is also referred to as The Night Before Christmas. This poem was written, or at least, published in 1823. It has had a few minor tweaks over the year, but this is the version we like to recite at Christmas. This poem is now almost 200 years old and endures in its evocative imagery of Santa Claus. A Visit from St. Nicholas – by Clement Clarke Moore. ‘Twas 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; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains 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. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too— And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The 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. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A 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 work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And 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 night!” [PDF] The Night Before Christmas Book by Clement C.

The Night Before Christmas. Caldecott Honoree and beloved illustrator Anita Lobel pairs her beautiful drawings with the beloved Christmas poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” in this classic picture book that your family will treasure for years to come. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse… Since it was first published nearly 200 years ago “The Night Before Christmas” has enchanted readers young and old with the story of St. Nicholas landing on a snowy roof, climbing down the chimney, and filling all of the stockings with gifts before riding off in his sleigh, wishing “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” Anna Lobel’s stunning, richly detailed illustrations for the poem have been cherished by families for over thirty years. Portraying a lush Victorian New York setting, children are snug in their beds, a cat is asleep under the tree, and the quiet city is blanketed with snow. As Santa Claus leaves the city after delivering gifts, he flies over a stunning moonlit Brooklyn Bridge. This beautiful, brand-new edition has been lovingly restored and is a gift that will be treasured year after year. About The Author. Clement C. Moore was born in in New York City in 1779. During his lifetime, he wrote in a variety of forms, including biography, translation, fiction, and poetry. He is perhaps most famous for his poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” which was first published anonymously in 1823, and later became known as “The Night Before Christmas.” The first few lines of this poem are some of the best-known verses of American literature and Moore’s descriptions of Santa Claus have contributed significantly to our conception of him. Moore died in 1863, but his legacy will live on forever. About The Illustrator. Anita Lobel’s name is synonymous with the best in children’s literature. She is the creator of such classics as Alison’s Zinnia and Away from Home , and she received a Caldecott Honor for her illustrations in On Market Street . She is the creator of three books featuring her cat, Nini: One Lighthouse, One Moon (a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book); Nini Lost and Found ; and Nini Here and There . And she wrote Ducks on the Road , which The Horn Book called “cozy.” Her childhood memoir, No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War , was a finalist for the National Book Award. Anita Lobel lives in New York City. Product Details. Publisher: Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books (September 15, 2020) Length: 32 pages ISBN13: 9781534469679 Grades: P - 3 Ages: 4 - 8. Browse Related Books. Raves and Reviews. First published in 1984, Lobel's interpretatons of Moore's classic poem is soothing and peaceful. Dramatically moonlit views of a snow-covered city streetscape give way to richly colored, cozy interior scenes of a turn-of-the-twentiethcentury brownstone. We get glimpses of family members sleeping snug in their quilt-covered beds; we see family portraits (one of which bears a strong resemblance to Arnold Lobel) on the walls; a fireplace hung with stockings; a Christmas tree adorned with candles. The only face shown is Santa's, as that traditionally portrayed gent goes about his toy-delivering business. A gorgeous aerial view of the Brooklyn Bridge completes the book. MARTHA V. PARRAVANO.

  • How Nutritious Is Your Christmas?
    How Nutritious Is Your Christmas? Christmas is just around the corner, nudging us ever nearer to the time-honoured tradition of the Christmas Dinner, celebrated by families all around the world. However what makes up a yuletide feast changes significantly from country to country depending on the availability of fresh produce and age-old traditions: Christmas in the UK is based around turkey and all the trimmings, while Christmas in Indonesia is celebrated with sticky, sweet rice cakes. Here are how six different countries celebrate the festive season through food. posted on Dec. 16, 2014, at 6:14 p.m. This post was created by a user and has not been vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed's editorial staff.

United Kingdom The traditional UK Christmas dinner is the centrepiece of festivities; roast turkey or goose with roast potatoes, and all the trimmings of stuffing, sprouts and cranberry sauce. However the evolution of eating turkey is relatively recent in English history, as the famous festive fowl didn’t arrive in the UK until the 1700s. In Medieval England the main course was either peacock or boar. The beloved mince pie was a recipe brought back from the Middle East by Crusaders, originally made with meat instead of the lovely fruits and spices we know today. However in the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell decided that this Christmas dish was too decadent, and banned eating it on Christmas Day – a law that has yet to be abolished! Did you know? Brussel sprouts are one of the healthiest veggies around, and a fantastic source for your key vitamins.

    Holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday greetings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holiday greetings are a selection of greetings that are often spoken with good intentions to strangers, family, or friends, in nations around the world, during the months of December and January. Holidays with greetings include Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving (United States), and Hanukkah. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on the cultural and religious status of any given area. Typically, a greeting consists of the word "Happy" followed by the holiday, such as "Happy Eid", "Happy Hanukkah", or "Happy New Year", although the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a notable exception. In the United States, the collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the Winter holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Controversy has arisen in the U.S regarding its usage of the phrase "Happy Holidays", as an alleged attempt to diminish the Christian elements of Christmas, although its use promotes other holidays commonly celebrated there. Contents 1 Merry/Happy Christmas 1.1 History of the phrase 2 Happy Holidays 3 Season's Greetings 4 Christmas and Holiday Greetings 4.1 Christmas Wishes (Non-English) 4.2 Non-English, Non-Christmas 4.3 English 4.4 Other 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Merry/Happy Christmas The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

This book is essentially a cooperative product of the people of Livingston Township, the former 1939 New Jersey Writers' Project and the Livingston Bicentennial Historical Committee in 2013. Every person approached by staff and committee members was glad to relate what he/she remembered, to show the documents and mementoes he/she owned, to suggest others who might supply information. It is obviously impossible to list all those who assisted in producing this book. The first edition was completed with the help of the members of the 125th Anniversary Committee: Freeman Harrison, chairman, who was unfailingly generous with his time and advice during the course of the work; Mrs. Lillias Cook; Miss Martha E. Devey, then township librarian; Leon O. Fisher, then superintendent of schools; Edward Gaulkin, then township recorder; the Reverend N. Lester Lawrence, then pastor, Livingston Baptist Church; and George B. Schulte. The first edition of the book was written by Richard A. Shafter from research material gathered by Miss Gertrude Tubby, Mrs. Katherine D. Hill and Fred Holden of the Essex County Unit of the Writers' Project. The first edition manuscript was edited for publication by Benjamin Goldenberg, supervising editor. The photographs were taken by Nathaniel Rubel, and the first edition was designed by Samuel Epstein, then Assistant State Supervisor.
