Anecdotes
One of the title cards refers to "Dunder" the reindeer; this is not a mistake. In different versions of "Twas The Night Before Chtistmas", the reindeer's name sometimes appears as "Donner," sometimes as "Donder", and sometimes as "Dunder". In fact, "Dunder and Blixem" in Dutch mean "Thunder and Lightning", and some think these are the true (i.e., original) names of Donner and Blitzen.

A Christmas Jewel From Edwin S. Porter & Thomas Alva Edison

'Twas THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

The wonderful old poem by Clement C. Moore comes to life in this little silent film. Looking like a Victorian Christmas card, it has all the charm of a bygone era. The special effects, especially the scenic diorama used for St. Nicholas' ride, are quite effective.

Al Kryszak provided the score for the video compilation A Christmas Past, in which this film appears.
