Maybe that's why "Twas the Night" is one of the poems that i can still recite almost entirely by memory - and always with a smile. :)MsTypohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405552178619579820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-22311114258039868722008-11-10T16:12:00.000+01:002008-11-10T16:12:00.000+01:00Ohhh, Louise...if I bring some mulled red wine and...Ohhh, Louise...if I bring some mulled red wine and my own feather pillow and cashmere rug, can i curl up with y'all and listen to 'Twas the Night Before Xmas too?♥ Brajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693196044262677095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-14352532169385289272008-11-10T13:11:00.000+01:002008-11-10T13:11:00.000+01:00Very nice post, Louise.

One might even call it sweet.<BR/><BR/>A few years ago I was at a large Christmas dinner in London, and over after-dinner drinks they had a holiday trivia contest which we did as teams. Nearly everybody there was British.<BR/><BR/>One of the questions was to name Santa's reindeer, and I was the only one who could do it. It turned out there wasn't a single other person there who had ever heard OF the Moore poem. <BR/><BR/>It's funny the things Americans believe are universal, but which really aren't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-71920918953476220082008-11-10T12:40:00.000+01:002008-11-10T12:40:00.000+01:00I read it to my son from his first xmas till his s...I read it to my son from his first xmas till his sixth, then alas he was "to old".
