[Fiji Hill]

I grew up with this version, which features most of Clement Moore's original poem with some additions by Ken Darby, whose vocal group, the Ken Darby Singers, backed Bing Crosby on several of his hits including "White Christmas."

It almost didn't see the light of day. Fred Waring and the gang had to race to complete it before a scheduled strike by the American Federation of Musicians would deprive him of his instrumentalists. They got the production into the can the day before the strike began, to the delight of untold millions, including yours truly, over the next eight decades. It has since become a fixture in America's Christmas songbook.

A Visit from St. Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)--Waring's Pennsylvanians, with the Swingerettes & Gordon Goodman (1942)

[Rennes Templar]

I grew up with this version of the first line, compliments of my comedic uncle:

“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was snoring, not even my spouse!”

[Kathy in Alaska]

Waring has the knack for good tunes...this is one of them. Thanks, Fiji!
