It's been a long, tough season for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who's been injured twice in 2015. Things haven't gone well for the 4-10 Cowboys either.

But football woes haven't kept Romo from getting in the holiday spirit or giving back to the community.

And he appears to be just as good at reading children's holiday classics as he is at reading NFL defenses.

Here, with a big assist from Santa Claus (Cowboys defensive lineman Jeremy Mincey), Romo reads the Christmas classic Twas the Night Before Christmas to children at The Christmas of Giving. The event was put on by Cowboys tight end Jason Witten's S.C.O.R.E Foundation for mothers and kids of The Family Place.

With his son, Hawkins, sitting in his lap, Romo shows he's in control, giving Santa his marching orders: "Your job is to show the pictures as we read. See if you can handle that."

"Next page, Santa," Romo says as Santa falls behind a little bit. Eventually, Tony gives Santa some assistance turning the pages while keeping tabs on Hawkins, who amuses himself by messing with the microphone.

Romo lets his audience chime in as well, especially on the last line: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
