Leo and the Night Before Christmas

Cover

Every page of Leo’s book

The same face from the first page to the last, painted in one style. These are the pages exactly as they came out.

It was Christmas Eve, and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Leo gazed at the stockings hung by the chimney with care. "St. Nicholas will soon be here," he whispered, full of hope.
Mama in her kerchief was nestled snug in bed, and so was Leo. Then out on the lawn there arose such a clatter! Leo sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.
Leo flung open the window wide. The moon shone bright on the new-fallen snow. And what did he see? A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, dashing through the sky!
St. Nicholas whistled and called them by name: "Now, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen!" Up to the housetop they flew, while Leo held his breath.
Leo tiptoed to the doorway and peeked. Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound! He was dressed all in fur, with a bundle of toys flung on his back.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. He filled every stocking, one by one, right to the top. Leo watched with wide, shining eyes and didn't make a peep.
Then St. Nicholas spotted Leo and smiled. He laid a finger beside his nose and gave a little nod. Up the chimney he rose, and Leo's heart went thump with joy.
He sprang to his sleigh and whistled to his team. Away they flew like thistledown! Leo waved and heard him call, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
