Welcome:

This blog was prompted by my son (in his twenties) wanting to get more seriously into poetry and asking me to recommend some poems. Where to begin? So this is primarily for him, but I hope other readers might enjoy it too.

Twas the Night Before Christmas- C.C. Moore


Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the Night before Christmas by Clement C. Moore

Scroll down to video.

Or you may prefer the Swingle Singers' version for schmaltz.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smUal-IclAQ
There are lots of versions on You Tube, each more schmaltzy than the next. I'll leave you to indulge or avoid, as you prefer.
