Twas Night Before Christmas

[henny penny]

Can anyone recommend a beautiful edition of this book? There are about a million editions and I'd like one with classic, vintage style color illustrations but not with a scary looking Santa like some of the ones I see.
I'd like to start a Christmas Eve tradition and I want the perfect book!!!
Thanks!

There are so many beautiful versions of The Night Before Christmas! I think my favorite might be Jan Brett's, though -- goregous, detailed, nostalgic pictures and the Santa is not scary-looking.

How about the Mary Engelbreit edition? We have it and I love it.

The Jan Brett edition is really cute as well. It also includes a pug, which is an added benefit in my house.

I swear I posted in this thread already... odd.

We have, and love, this one:
