The Night Before Christmas is a song composed by Red Skelton, and performed on The Red Skelton Hour episode, The Plight Before Christmas
The snowflakes were falling
The night before Christmas
The houses with holly
And trees trimmed so bright
The church bells were calling
The night before Christmas
And carolers singing
By warm candlelight
Santa’s little sleigh
Was on it’s way
Riding through town until morn.
Bringing lots of toys
For girls and boys
On the day that our Savior was born.
Our hearts will be swaying
The night before Christmas
The magic of yuletide is with us again.
What’s more, we’ll be praying
The night before Christmas
For peace on Eartth
And good will to all men.
On the night before Christmas …
