'Twas The Night Before Christmas

'Twas The Night Before Christmas Be good, do good--what better way to celebrate humanity.

Clement Clarke Moore wrote "'Twas The Night Before Christmas," which he actually christened "A Visit From St. Nicholas," supposedly after a sleigh ride home on Christmas Eve 1822 in Greenwich Village after buying the family turkey for his wife and six children. The children eagerly heard the now infamous poem that night and Moore gave Santa's wild ride no further thought until a friend discovered

the poem and had it published anonymously in an upstate New York newspaper called The Sentinal. Moore never copyrighted the poem and didn't even take credit for his work until a decade after The Sentinal first published his work. Eventually, Moore included his most famous piece among his other works in an 1844 book and our hearts and imaginations are all the greater for it.
