Firefighter's Night Before Christmas (The Night Before Christmas) - Hardcover
It's the Christmas Eve shift at Firehouse One. All the firefighters are sitting down to bowls of hot chili when an old fireman stops by for a bite to eat. The firemen have to leave to fight a fire and return to find that he was not an ordinary firefighter-they were visited by Sgt. St. Nick!

Praise for Cajun Night Before Christmas:
"Forget Dancer, Prancer, Comet, and Vixen. . . . Good Clement, wherever he is, will not be gnashing his teeth."
-New York Times Book Review
"Rice is especially good with facial expressions, whether they are on a Texas jackrabbit, a longhorn steer, a dusty cowboy, or the green and long-nosed alligator named Gaston."
-Library Journal
In the tradition of The Night Before Christmas, author Kimbra Cutlip describes Christmas Eve from a fireman's point of view. Several unlucky firemen and police officers are spending a quiet Christmas Eve away from their families when "Jingle Bells" suddenly blares through the window. A Christmas-decked rig, snow-spurting water hose, and sooty old fireman are at the forefront of the Christmas Eve shenanigans.
Kimbra Cutlip, a certified emergency medical technician and firefighter, grew up with two firefighter uncles. Also the author of Sailor's Night Before Christmas, Cutlip lives near the Chesapeake Bay with her husband and two daughters.
James Rice (1934-2004), in his long, distinguished career as an author and illustrator, produced more than sixty children's books, among them several additions to The Night Before Christmas Series. Cajun Night Before Christmas�, Rice's first book, has been nationally recognized as a classic in its genre. Rice taught art and music at both high school and college levels and loved teaching children the joys of writing and illustrating. With more than 2.5 million copies of his books in print, Rice ranks among the nation's best-selling creators of children's books, having received awards from Printer Industries of America and the Children's Book Council.

It's the Christmas Eve shift at Firehouse One, and all the firefighters are sitting down to bowls of hot chilli when an old fireman stops by for a bite to eat. No sooner than it takes for the old man to finish his chilli, the alarm sounds and the firemen have to leave to fight a fire. They work through the night and return, tired, and begin to ready their equipment for the next call. But wait! As they pull into the station, they notice that theirs is the only yard with snow, and there's a shiny new truck standing ready. There are even more surprises inside for each firefighter, and as the lieutenant finishes his paperwork, he notices that the old man has listed all the firefighters' names and who was naughty or nice. Everyone at Firehouse One is left to wonder who that old fireman might have been. Who needs eight flying reindeer when Santa has a shiny red fire truck?
