The Night Before Christmas

On a snowy winter’s eve, the world seems to hold its breath—children tucked into bed, stockings hung by the hearth, and in the quiet glow of the fireplace, something magical stirs. The Night Before Christmas brings Clement C. Moore’s beloved poem to life with Cheryl Harness’s rich, nostalgic illustrations that shimmer with old-world charm.

From the clatter on the rooftop to the merry laugh of Saint Nick himself, every page invites readers to slow down, gather close, and savor the wonder of Christmas tradition. This beautifully illustrated edition captures the warmth of candlelight, the rustle of wrapping paper, and the heart of the holiday season—the simple joy of being together.

Whether shared aloud by the fire, read before bedtime on Christmas Eve, or discovered anew on Christmas morning, this timeless classic is a treasure to bring out year after year—a gentle reminder that home, at its heart, is a feeling we create together.
