    Twas the Night Before Christmas A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement C. Moore is a read aloud poem that still charms the heart after all these years.

    It was a pleasure to enjoy as a Christmas tradition. Although it was written in 1912, I highly recommend reading this as a family ritual.

    "When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the windows I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters & threw up the sash."

    I gave this classic five stars.Twas the Night before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas

    This is the famous pen of the fight of Santa Claus. Told as a poem it is beloved of children. While I recommend this it should be noted it lacks the illustrations.

    My daughter (9) was having a really hard time falling asleep this Christmas Eve and I thought it would be nice to share the original version of this poem with her. She thought the introduction was a little long but I enjoyed the history a lot. My daughter liked it a lot! Especially knowing it was written for the author's own children :) would recommend to any parent and child who enjoy original literature and this classic poem

    I have heard, read, and seen cartoons of this Christmas poem all of my life. I have read it with my children when they were younger, and now I have this copy to share with my grandsons. I am glad to have it to also use at school, during story time at Christmas time. YAY!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Edition not illustrated.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2013
    Had a feeling this would be the case. I realized that the reviews for it were linked to a physical copy. The kindle version when I got it was free so I am not complaining. The intro must be from the hard copy too because it mentions the illustrations. The poem itself seems to be complete and the intro does offer interesting info on author. Wouldn't pay for it, but for free it is a good way to have a copy in hand.
