"Twas The Night Before Christmas"

[C.Ann]

Does anyone here read this to their kids the night before Christmas?

I used to - then when my youngest got engaged I started re-writing it every year - in a funny version that pertained to whatever was going on in our lives.. Now we read that every Christmas Eve instead - just for laughs and giggles.. My family, DD's IL's, and my DGD (11) think it's hysterical the things that I come up with..

The year that DD and her DH became engaged, I wrote a "special" version that applied to him and his parents (they were still working then) and they got such a kick out of it they made photo copies and handed them out to everyone they knew..

I think that is so great C.Ann. I used to read it to my son when he was little. My grandson is only two but maybe next year I will read it to him. But special editions that you write must be really fun every year.

No, we read a simplified version of the first Christmas
