Publisher's Note In 1822 Clement Clarke Moore wrote "The Night Before Christmas" for his children. Now, of course, his tale is read aloud to children around the world in anticipation of Santa's arrival. This Christmas Eve tradition calls for the wondrous treat of Julie Downing's jewel-toned watercolor illustrations vibrant with the rich visual detail of the Victorian age.
