Luyện nghe bài hát 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before
when all the house
Not a creature was
not even a

The were hung
by the with care
In hopes that St
soon would be

The children were
all snug in beds
visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads

And mamma in her
and I in my cap
Had just settled our
for a winter's nap

out on the lawn
there arose such a
I sprang the bed
to see was the matter

Away to the
I like a flash
Tore the shutters
and up the sash

The moon on the
of the snow
Gave the lustre of
to objects

When, to my
wondering eyes should
But a miniature
and eight reindeer

With a little old driver, so and quick
I knew in a
it be St Nick

More rapid eagles
his coursers came
And he whistled, and
and called by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer!
now, and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
on, 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 before
the hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, to the sky

So up to the
the coursers they
With the sleigh full of
and St too

And then, in a
I on the roof
The and pawing
of each hoof

As I in my head
and was turning
Down the chimney St
came a bound

He was all in fur
from his head to his
And his clothes all tarnished with ashes and soot

A of Toys
he had flung on his
And he looked a peddler
opening his pack

His eyes-how twinkled!
his how merry!
His cheeks were like
his nose a cherry!

His droll mouth
was drawn up a bow
And the of his chin
was as white as the

The of a pipe
he held tight in his
And the it encircled
his like a wreath

He had a face
and a little round
That when he laughed
like a of jelly!

He was chubby and
a jolly old elf
And I when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A of his eye
and a twist of his
gave me to know
I had nothing to

He spoke not a
but went to his work
And all the stockings
turned with a jerk

And his finger
of his nose
And a nod
up the he rose!

He sprang to his
to his team gave a
And away they all
like the of a thistle

But I him exclaim
he drove out of sight
"Happy to all
and to all a good-night!"
