Quotes[edit]

  • 'T was 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.
  • "Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen,
    "On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem;
    "To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    "Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
  • But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight —
    Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
