Metallica's James Hetfield has shared a spoken word narration of the popular Christmas tale, "A Visit From St. Nicholas," often called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
The Hetfield narration of the classic Christmas tale premiered on the Metallica-branded Maximum Metallica channel on SiriusXM with the message, "Grab your cocoa and settle in by the fire before your long winter's nap for a reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Papa Het."
An animated video subsequently appeared on YouTube, with Hetfield narrating the poem over a suitably festive image of a crackling fire and Christmas stockings.
