De Night in de Front from Chreesmas Book PDF Summary
De Night in de Front from Chreesmas is a picture book which was written and illustrated by the Jewish-American humorist Milt Gross. The verse story parodies the famous 19th century poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas"). The action takes place on the evening of December 24 in a New York City apartment building where the Jewish Feitelbaum family, and several other people, live. The night ends up being a terrible one for all of the building's occupants. Mr. Feitelbaum, the story's narrator, is an immigrant from Eastern Europe and a native speaker of Yiddish. His English is somewhat faulty and heavily accented. The poem is written phonetically in order to reflect Mr. Feitelbaum's pronunciation. Its opening lines are, "Twas de night befurr Chreesmas und hall troo de houze Not a critchure was slipping - not ivvin de souze". It is Christmas Eve. In the Feitelbaum family's apartment, stockings are hanging in front of the fireplace, along with the rest of the laundry that has been hung up to dry there. When he hears a loud buzzing at the doorbell, Mr. Feitelbaum rushes to open the door. He finds an extremely short man whose nose looks like a big pickle, whose belly is huge and whose legs are short and bandy. Mr. Feitelbaum also fancies that he can hear the sound of reindeer dancing on the roof, a noise which he fears will bother his upstairs neighbors. Thinking that the little man is Santa Claus, Mr. Feitelbaum cries out in excitement, telling the rest of his family to come and see the man. Although the man remains silent when Mr. Feitelbaum asks him about his reindeer, Mr. Feitelbaum invites the little man into his apartment. The little man then explains that he is not really Santa Claus. He is the apartment building's elevator operator and, as is customary at Christmas, he has come to ask for a tip. Mr. Feitelbaum chases the little man away. Later that same evening, after Mr. Feitelbaum has had his sleep disrupted by hordes of insects and spiders, a man playing Santa Claus gets stuck in a stovepipe. An explosion follows when Mr. Feitelbaum's son Looy turns on the heat. The explosion does serious damage to the apartment of the Feitelbaums' downstairs neighbor Mr. McCoddy, who, unfortunately, is holding a wedding party in his apartment when the explosion happens. It is an extremely bad end to an extremely bad night. Mr. Feitelbaum concludes his tale by saying that he would not wish such an evening on his worst enemy.
