Clement C. Moore’s
Long-Famous Poem
'Twas 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;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
1 sprang from my bed to sec what was the matter.
Away to the window 1 flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away, all!”’
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes-—how they 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 on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath,
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,
AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!”
The Happiest Day
Isn’tit interesting that the hap
piest day of the year, Christmas,
is also almost the shortest!
On this happy occasion the most
popular Christmas stories are often
the saddest--poor, little crippled
children and the match girls. In
the true Christmas story of the
gift of Christ, we see a life of cheer
fullness ministering to the needs
of the poor, the sick, and the down
hearted. He counted His life as
nothing, while He counted every
oneelseas everything.
Shouldn’t Christmas be to us
what He prescribed for life: loving,
giving, reflecting on what we can
do for Him and for others? May
Christmas be the happiest day of
the vear and may every day follow
ingit be even happier by sharing!
American Christmas
Contribution
The American Christmas is
also a melting pot of customs from
many nations. The yule log,
Christmas cards, boars’ heads
and plum puddings come from
England. Santa Claus comes from
Holland, our Christmas tree and
stockings come from other coun
tries; traditions. Materially speak
ing, America’s only contribution
to Christmas seems to be the turkey.

The Name *‘Jesus"’
Although today when a name
isgiven to a newborn baby it usu
ally doesn’t have any more signifi
cance than an identification tag,
in Bible times a name was chosen
with great care. The name of a new
born signified the faith and hope
of the parents, the baby's own
personal characteristics, the cir
cumstances of the baby’s birth, or
its life mission.
The name given (o the Baby Je
sus had great significance. Like
Joshua leading Israel to victory
in the earthly promised land, so
Jesus would be the Captain of Sal
vation, coming to lead us to the
heavenly Canaan.
The name ‘‘Jesus’’ also was
equivalent to *‘Joshua'' and was
generally taken to mean *‘Jehovah
is Salvation."’

Wassailing The Orchard
An old English custom in some
districts was to “wassail*’ the or
chard trees on Christmas Fve.
It the farmers failed to do this,
they behieved their trees wouldn't
bear much fruit. A great pitcher
of aider was carried to the orchard;
the farmer and his helpers encir
cled a tree and drank a toast to it
two or three times. ‘‘Here's to
thee, old apple tree,’’ went one
chant, begging the tree to be fruit
tul. Of course by the time all the
trees in the orchard were circled,
the men must have been full of
cider!
