Luyện nghe bài hát The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not a mouse
The stockings were by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be
The were nestled, all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in heads
And in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long nap

When out on the lawn arose such a clatter
I from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the

The moon on the breast of the snow
Gave the lustre of to objects below
When, to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight reindeer

With a little old driver, so lively and
I knew in a it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they
And he whistled, and shouted, and called by name

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, and Vixen!
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild fly
When they meet with an obstacle, to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers flew
With the full of toys, and St. Nicholas too

And then, in a twinkling, I on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little
As I in my hand, and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas with a bound

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his
And his clothes were all with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his

His eyes, how twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the

The of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a
He had a broad face and a little belly
That shook, when he laughed like a of jelly

He was chubby and plump, a jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of
A of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to

He spoke not a word, but straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, then with a jerk
And laying his aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a
And away they all flew like the of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, ere he out of sight
"Happy to all, and to all a good-night"
