Description:

“The poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” better known by its opening line “‘Twas the Night before Christmas,” has a special place among Christmas traditions, right alongside hot chocolate, caroling and bright lights. It has also inspired the modern image of Santa Claus as a jolly old man sporting red and a round belly.

But this poem has been steeped in controversy, and debate still looms over who the true author is. Traditionally, Clement C. Moore – a 19th-century scholar at the General Theological Seminary in New York, has been credited with writing the poem in 1822 for his children.

No matter who wrote it, the poem is a fascinating object that has. shaped Christmases past, present – and maybe yet to come.” Fortune.com
