This little poem we’re reading today profoundly influenced the American tradition of Santa Claus. Moore had St. Nicholas coming on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day, as did Washington Irving, in his Old Christmas series of essays. The Christmas visitor had many different influences at the time, and the popularity of this poem solidified the character of Santa Claus. Often referred to as “T’was the Night Before Christmas”, it was originally published in 1823.

 

And now, A Visit from St. Nicholas, by Clement Moore
