Right! But what's the rest of the quote and who is it by?
#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Dec 7, 2013 [HINT]
Uncle Wiki tells us that there is some controversy over who wrote it. Some think Clement Clarke Moore wrote it and there are some who think a Major Livingston wrote it. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas

Here's a nice musical version:

This took far longer than it should have, because it kept locking up due to a long script.

I'll say Clement C. Moore wrote it.
T'was the night before Christmas, and 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 Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

Sang this in high school until sick of it. :) Although, I didn't sing it because I played the piano and had to rehearse all the parts. Still have it popping up in my brain every now and then. :(

This is a beautiful image, however; I hope St. Nick DOESN'T show up, as he might get a little to WARM, LOL.
