'Twas the NIght Before Christmas~FEATURES!

'Twas the night before Christmas,

when all through the house

(Sweet Little Smoothie)

 
Not a creature was stirring, 

 (Well maybe this Grinch Bunny from Sew blessed)

not even a mouse;

(Wuz Cuz I Can)
The stockings were hung 

 (Truly Lovely)

by the chimney with care,

(Randee's Organized Chaos)
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

(Polish the Stars)
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

(Shugary Sweets)
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

(Sew Much 2 Luv)

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,

(OK, we went shopping with Mom on Timeout instead!)

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

(Rockabye Butterfly)
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

(Diary of Daves Wife)
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

(House of Bledsoe)

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

(Stone Cottage)
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

(Creative Carissa)
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
