00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:12,789
just the night before christmas went on through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that saint nicholas soon would be there

2
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:26,050
the children grew 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 down for a long winter's nap

3
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:43,509
when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter i sprang from the 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

4
00:00:43,509 --> 00:01:01,509
The moon of the birds, only found as now, Gave the luz of midday to all youth below, With what to a wonder I saw appears, But a miniaturist like an ancient Arrhenius.

5
00:01:01,509 --> 00:01:08,510
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.

6
00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:14,510
More rapid than eagles, his course is to come, and he whistled and shouteth and calleth thy name.

7
00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:26,040
Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Panzer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!

8
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,040
To below the forge! To the top of the wall! Now, dash away! Dash away all!

9
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:41,040
White leaves that before the wind hurricane fly, when they meet an obstacle, mount to the sky.

10
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Swap to the house door and the curses they flew, with the snake full of toys and Saint Nicholas too.

11
00:01:52,040 --> 00:02:00,950
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof the browsing and pawing of each little hoof.

12
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:07,950
As I drew in my hand, I was turning around, and on the chimney St. Nicholas came with a wound.

13
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:26,949
His eyes how 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 of his chin was as white as the snow.

14
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:40,949
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I loved when I saw him, in spite of myself, a wink of his hair and a twist of his head, soon getting to know I had nothing to dread.

15
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:54,949
He sprang to his sleeve, to his team gave a whistle, and the way they all flew like the dawn of a dizzle, but I heard him exclaim, every drawl far outside, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

16
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:59,110
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
