Not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse.

Це була різдвяна ніч,

Панувала в хаті тиша.

Діти спали пліч-о-пліч,

Вгамувалась навіть миша.

There's a lot more stirring in this house than a mouse...

About the Author
Veillette, Sally M.: - Educated as an electrical engineer, Sally M. Veillette moved to her ancestral home on the Italian island of Sicily to raise her daughter. There, she developed "relational tourism" programs that included hosting groups to cook with Italian grandmothers, assisting in English language camps for local children, and facilitating local soccer tournaments with A.C. Milan's youth team. After completing a playful translation of ''Twas the Night Before Christmas into Italian for her daughter, Chiara, she was inspired to create a multilingual collection of the classic poem. Today, Sally and her team of 80 helpers across twenty nations have successfully published the poem in 20 languages with print, ebook, and enhanced editions with animation and narration available. Sally M. Veillette is also the author of the award-winning Coming to Your Senses: Soaring with Your Soul, as well as Sicilian history books for children and tourists.Moore, Clement Clarke: - Clergyman and scholar, Clement Clarke Moore, born in New York in 1779, became a household name in the USA by writing the most famous holiday poem in America's history. This poem, originally entitled "A Visit from Saint Nicholas," published in Troy, New York, on December 23, 1823, is now known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." This poem shaped the public view of Saint Nicholas: giving him a big, round belly, a hearty laugh, and a reindeer-drawn sleigh that carries him around the world.
