Last one please can you help

40.In which Christmas poem does santa land on a roof with a clatter accidently waking up father. He then fills the children's stockings and flies off

[Sam1960]

twas the night before Christmas ? not 100%

[granny grump]

Thank yoi Sam I thought of that but it doesn't seem to fit exactly

[scorpiojo]

Yes:

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter

[Sam1960]

two verses granny grump read ......

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and turning around
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to work
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk
And laying his fingers aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

Hope that helps ;)

I think the poem is actually called A Visit from St. Nicholas.

'Twas the night before Chistmas is the first line, but I don't think it's the title.
