‘Twas the Night Before Christmas Mad Libs

I have a fun Christmas party or class activity for you today! A Christmas mad-libs style twist on the classic Christmas poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”. I have taken some liberties and omitted some lines (it’s a long poem) but I think this would be fun for the middle-aged kids to do as a Christmas activity.
