"'Twas the Night Before Christmas' gives very young children the excitement, the anticipation, of what is to them a magical event: a special night when this strange, unknown figure appears and leaves wonderful gifts," said Fox Business host Stuart Varney, as Fox Nation released a special clip of Varney reading the Christmas classic to his grandchildren on his show, "Varney & Co.," in 2011.
The iconic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," is commonly known by its first line "Twas the night before Christmas." The poem is believed to have been authored by Clement Clarke Moore, a writer and a professor at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in New York City.
"Is there anything better than reading that to your children and grandchildren?" he asked. "No wonder I get choked up. I’m passing on the tradition and joy of Christmas,” Varney said, acknowledging that he fights back tears at the end of the poem.
“I used to read it to my kids when they were very young. I wasn’t emotional back then, but I am now. I guess it’s a function of nostalgic old age,” he joked.
Ahead of Christmas, Varney also shared the shows that he is watching that are streaming on Fox Nation.

PARK'D with Abby Hornacek: Arcadia National Park
In the latest season of PARK'D, Fox Nation host Abby Hornacek traveled to some of America's greatest national treasures, including Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park in Utah and Acadia National Park in Maine. Abby made it to Acadia's 47,000-acres just in time to catch the incredible colors of autumn and get in some lobstering as well.
"I think viewers will come away from this series with a deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of America," Hornacek told Fox News.
"Before this show, I was already a huge advocate for being a tourist in America, because there are so many incredible places to go," she continued. "But when you actually go to these places or hear the stories of the geology and the history of how they came to be, it really enriches the experience -- and that's what I wanted to share."
