'Tis December 24, the day
before Christmas, and all through the land, families will send excited
children to bed with a reading of Clement Moore's classic poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas."
Moore is thought to have composed the tale, now popularly known as "The Night Before Christmas," on December 24, 1822, while traveling home from Greenwich Village, where he had bought a turkey for his family's Christmas dinner.
Inspired by the plump, bearded Dutchman who took him by sleigh on his
errand through the snow-covered streets of New York City, Moore penned A Visit from St. Nicholas
for the amusement of his six children, with whom he shared the poem
that evening. His vision of St. Nicholas draws upon Dutch-American and
Norwegian traditions of a magical, gift-giving figure who appears at
Christmas time, as well as the German legend of a visitor who enters
homes through chimneys.
Clement Moore was born in 1779 into a prominent New York family. His father, Benjamin Moore, president of Columbia University, in his role as Episcopal Bishop of New York participated in the inauguration
of George Washington as the nation's first president. The elder Moore
also administered last rites to Alexander Hamilton after he was
mortally wounded in a tragic duel with Aaron Burr.
A graduate of Columbia, Clement Moore was a scholar of Hebrew and a professor of Oriental and Greek literature at the General Theological Seminary
in Manhattan. He is said to have been embarrassed by the light-hearted
verse, which was made public without his knowledge in December 1823.
Moore did not publish it under his name until 1844.
Tonight, American children will be tucked in under their
blankets and quilts and read this beloved poem as a last "sugarplum"
before slipping into dreamland. Before they drift off, treat them to a
message from Santa, recorded by the Thomas Edison Company in 1922.....[MORE]
