T'was the Night Before Christmas

T'was the night before Christmas
and all through the land,
there where these two children
so simply so grand.
And all through that night
they could not fall asleep,
they were both too excited,
so they got up with a leap.
They ran down the hall,
and fell down the stairs,
woke up their parents,
and said many prayers,
they went back to bed,
while the clouds fade away,
with exciting dreams
of the dear Christmas day.
