Twas the Night Before Christmas read by Melysette
A quick reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas (aka A Visit from St. Nicholas) as performed online on 12/24/20. This poem is by Clement C. Moore, first published in 1823, read by many, but perhaps immortalized by American singer/pianist/actor Liberace, who released it on vinyl in 1974 on the label Mistletoe Records.
