The Night Before Christmas is a classic Christmas story. It has a catchy rhythm and rhyme. But, more importantly, it captures the magic of Christmas. It is fun to imagine what happens when Santa comes to visit on Christmas Eve.
Every child who celebrates Christmas should have this story read to them at least once. While any version tells the story, I have found some versions to be especially beautifully illustrated.
I will be talking about a few of my favorite versions. The best way to read any of them would be to find a cozy chair, snuggle your child in your lap, and read the story with as much magical expression as you can.
What version of The Night Before Christmas is your favorite to read to your child? What makes it special?
