SantaClaus.com has a collection of antique, illustrated versions of Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas," more popularly known as "The Night Before Christmas" or "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". The following pages contain high resolution scans of a selection of illustrated versions of Twas The Night Before Christmas. Santa Claus loves the accurate description in the poem, plus the time and effort the illustrators took to chronicle our yearly flight on The Night Before Christmas. We hope you enjoy these antique versions as much as we do, since almost all are out of print, Santa wanted to make them available to you! Santa's thanks go out to the author of the poem and the illustrators of all these versions! Alibris
