Night Before Christmas... Importance of the Poem

Night Before Christmas... Importance of the Poem

Not a beast stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St.Nicholas soon would be there"...

The more we read it the more we love the lines.

An evening in winter...children...the elders by the fire side...one of them is reading out "Twas the night before Christmas..." or "A visit from St. Nicholas" by CleMent Clark Moore...This evening is the evening before Christmas. One can hear the giggles of the children outside...the shopkeepers are too busy to meet their demands...the world never appears as beautiful as it is today. Everybody seems innocent in the land of Christ.

It is a very beloved tradition of American families to read the poem by CleMent Moore on every Christmas Eve. This is the poem from where we get a refined photo of Christmas and Santa Claus. Moore changed the image of Santa Claus. Prior to the publication of the poem St. Nicholas was conceived as a lanky, stern Bishop who championed the cause of dispensing both gifts and discipline. The poem portrays Nicholas as a cheerful, rosy-cheeked elf who gives out gifts to the children. Christmas came to be known as the chance of exchanging gifts.

Santa turned out to be the loving persona. The research on this issue reveals that Santa laughs "ho ho ho" unlike what the population authentically do. He has got "a exiguous round belly/ that shook when he laugh'd, like a bowlful of jelly". Santa was never associated with reindeer in the past. Clement Moore changed the original notions in such a way that now it is difficult to distinguish in the middle of the original and the revised version. We not only believe in reindeer but also memorize their names- Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitz en.

Thus we get from the poem a new image of Santa, a whole lot of names of reindeer and the mood of the event a day before the actual one starts. The poem is so beloved that we have distinct versions of it. Joyce Luke wrote " Twas the week before Christmas and all straight through the school/ not a pupil was silent, no matter what rule. "Just like Moore's poem this one also ends with "As she looked at the Christmas tree glistening and tall, / she smiled as she whispered, "Merry Christmas to All." Moore's poem has been widely used for parodies. The parodied version for the gamblers goes like this-

"Twas the night before Christmas, I hit the casino,

I went there to play, more than just Keno."

It can have someone else version for love craft-

"Twas the night before Yuletide and all straight through the hole

Not a beast was stirring, not even a Dhole."

People nowadays decorate their tables according to the details given on Christmas and Santa in the poem. The table should give the impression of a Snowy landscape. White sheet is spread out on the table and thus we have Snow at the town of it where Santa and reindeer will be placed. Christmas candies are sprinkled on the table to make it more realistic. It seems Moore's lines have shaped both the ideas and activities about Christmas.

The night before Christmas is the day of setting up the Christmas tree, participating in the candlelight assistance early in the evening, attending Midnight Mass and enjoying the turkey or ham. Children will wait for their gifts even if the Puritans frown on the materialistic aspect of the event. While reading out the poem Everybody thanks Moore for giving the hope of receiving gifts and meeting the jolly secular Santa.

Decorations done...the evening meal was also wonderful...it's time to say "good night"...but on 24th December we love to end our day with the last line of the poem "Twas the night before Christmas",

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