The Soldiers' Night Before Christmas: Read & Listen Edition





Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the base
Only sentries were stirring—they guarded the place.
The soldiers were sleeping and snoring away
As they dreamed of "back home" on good Christmas Day . . .

Read and listen along as one Christmas Eve at a military barracks in the Middle East, some homesick soldiers are paid a visit by Sergeant McClaus, the Santa of Soldiers. This lively and poignant tale is inspired by Clement C. Moore's classic yuletide poem.

This ebook includes Read & Listen audio narration.
