This Christmas Eve, like many before, families will gather on one of the only evenings when children anxiously await bedtime to read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Clement Clark Moore composed this poem, formally known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas," in 1822. So it's about time someone gave it an upgrade for the modern children of today.

We created a more interactive version by upgrading (or decimating, you choose) Moore's tale of Old St. Nicholas with the help of some GIFs.
