My kids all love these variations on The Night Before Christmas, especially because I read them with appropriate accents. 😏

A western spin on the holiday poem "Twas the night before Christmas. This one finds Santa in a Stetson, caught in a Southwestern norther, and abandoned by his team. Two cowboys come to his aid, and find a surprise gift left behind when he leaves.

"Twas a cold Christmas eve on the Southwestern plain," and two lonely cowboys are shivering from the cold. A knock at the door of their sod shanty rouses them, and they admit a fat little old man with frost on his whiskers and hat.
The old man had been moving a load across the country when his team fled north to escape the panhandle cold. Now he must find a new team to help him finish his rounds.
In this new twist on the classic tale, the two cowboys help the mysterious man round up eight replacement longhorns. Together they hitch the cattle up to the odd gent's wagon and see him on his way. The two cowboys trudge back to their shanty, where they discover the gifts the stranger has left them.

A different take on the Night Before Christmas with Santa as a wrangler who drops in on a bunkhouse with two cowboys. The cowboys help him get steers to pull the sleigh and Santa leaves a nice gift behind. Students who love westerns and horses will like this book.
