The Night Before Christmas
Clement C Moore
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.‘
This enchanting Christmas classic is responsible for many of our modern ideas of Santa and was a considerable influence on the writting of Twelve Feasts of Christmas.
Clement Clarke Moore (July 15, 1779 – July 10, 1863) was an American writer and Professor credited and widely considered the author of the Christmas poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas“, first published anonymously in 1823. Since then this well loved poem has been printed many times over and has often been in the New York Times Best Sellers lists.
If you haven’t yet read it then make sure it is on your Christmas reading list this year.
