MoreBefore Clement Clarke Moore decided to write this remarkable little poem in 1822, there wasn't much mention of St. Nicholas, and he was never associated with a sleigh of reindeer. Published in December of 1823, the poem became a resounding success, even if initially it was published anonymously. Moore only claimed authorship of it more than 20 years later, when he also published Twas the Night Before Christmas in a collection of his most notable poems. Moore was a man who was as academically accomplished as he was wealthy. His writing style as methodical and comprehensive as the way in which he managed to increase his inherited wealth, Moore soon became well-known due to his remarkable literary talent. This is the most popular and widely recognized of his many notable poems, most of which were published as part of a collection in the year 1844. Twas the Night Before Christmas, also called A Visit from St Nicholas, is a poem that is still read in many American homes during Christmas as part of the Christmas tradition. It depicts St Nicholas' visit in detail, in a manner that may look familiar to all children familiar with Santa Claus. However, unlike most works of literature that are inspired by Santa, this one is actually the original. Presenting St Nicholas for the first time as an old man with a twinkle in his eye and a sleigh pulled by magical reindeer, this poem is considered a initial, legendary source of inspiration for so many of the stories, books, poems, plays, and later on, movies and other presentations focused on the magic of Christmas. For anyone who feels strongly about the most majestic holiday of the year, reading this beautiful Poem should definitely be high on the list. Twas the Night Before Christmas can help bring a genuine smile to the face of anyone wanting to reconnect with the true spirit of Christmas.
