It was the night before Christmas when all through the house not a creature was staring.

Only Granny Macduff's mouth.

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

The children were all nestled, all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. And I, in my kerchief and papa in his
