Finish the first line in the book, "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.
