the night before christmas
“As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.”
It’s hard to imagine Christmas Eve without Clement C. Moore’s iconic poem. Roger Duvoisin’s illustrations are bright, warm and enchanting. Happy Christmas to all!
The Night Before Christmas was published by Knopf Books for Young Readers.

Today we’ve got a rainy and sullen sky out and we’ve been reading Enid Blyton’s Christmas Stories. What is everyone’s favorite book by her? I didn’t grow up reading Enid Blyton (only discovered her work when I got older) and am looking to buy more of her stories for Avery and Nate. And happy first day of winter, all.
