Christmas Stories That Touch My Heart

Very few rhymes or stories bring back childhood memories like the classic tale of the night before Christmas. I took a little time yesterday, about 3 hours, to record, edit and publish my own version of the classic. I’m proud of myself to be sure. My video Twas the Night Before ChristmasA Visit from St. NicholasBy Clement C. Moore ’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even…
