“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” (2:58)
(Opening greetings)
Garth Brooks
“‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.”
Carrie Underwood
“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.”
Jerrod Niemann
“The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.”
Kenny Chesney
“And Mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.”
Cam
“When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.”
Brad Paisley
“Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.”
Chase Rice
“The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below.”
Miranda Lambert
“When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.”
Jake Owen
“With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.”
Chris Young
“More rapid than eagles his reindeer they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!”
Old Dominion
Brad: “Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!”
Geoff: “Now, Prancer and Vixen!”
Whit: “On, Comet! On, Cupid!”
Trevor: “On, Donner and Blitzen!”
Matthew: “To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
Trisha Yearwood
“So up to the house top the reindeer they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas, too.”
Maren Morris
“And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.”
Tyler Farr
“As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.”
Miranda Lambert
“He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.”
Logan Mize
“A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.”
Carrie Underwood
“His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!”
Cam
“His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.”
Jerrod Niemann
“The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.”
Tyler Farr
“He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!”
Chris Young
“He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!”
Trisha Yearwood
“A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.”
Jake Owen
“He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.”
Kenny Chesney
“And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!”
Brad Paisley
“He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.”
Garth Brooks
“But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
‘Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!'”
