'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, a pilot light was glowing, but stray mains voltage and an original two prong power cord electrocuted the mouse. 🐁 💀🎄🎅🤣 . 1965 #Fender #Champ . . #avisitfromstnicholas #deadmouse #abettermousetrap #guitar #guitars #amp #amps #amplifiers #fenderchamp #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamp #vintagefender #tubeamp #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography (at North Pole , Santa Workshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX3wHEArs9-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Who wrote #AVisitFromStNicholas? Who invented #SantaClaus? @Mark_S_Aldrich investigates in 'C.S.I.: North Pole' (https://wp.me/p49Ewg-3T3). #MerryChristmas #WashingtonIrving #ChristmasMemories #ClementClarkeMoore

Who wrote “A Visit from St. Nicholas”? Who invented Santa Claus? * * * * Sometimes all a story needs for it to be spread widely is an authoritative manner behind its delivery. Like all characters in great folklore, the character of Santa Claus “feels” like something ancient, a figure who has always been around, and not something that a human being could have conceived of merely to sell, well,…

Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the gym Not a creature was stirring, not even Tim; The plates were all stacked by the barbells with care, In hopes that weightlifters soon would be there. The members were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of vegetables danced in their heads; And Lola in her knee-socks, and I in my cap, Had just downloaded workout songs, mostly bad rap, When out in the lot there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the office to see what was the matter. Away to the bay door I flew like a flash, Through open the lock and pulled it up fast. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a John Henry push-sled stacked with plates to your ears, With a rugged old power lifter, lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. Stronger than Ron Coleman and twice as great, He whistled, and shouted, and called out “Light Weight!”; From the top of the driveway! to the end of the street! He pushed that sled around with lightning quick feet!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So out to the Interstate throwing sparks out the back, With the sled stacked so heavy the roadway had cracked. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, I saw piles of new equipment spread over the ground. And I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, 'Merry CrossFit to all and to all a good night!'
