“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” Poem History
Clement Clarke Moore, a professor of Greek and Oriental Literature at the Episcopal General Theological Seminary in New York City, wrote “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” also called “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” for his son Robert in 1822. Robert liked to ride his pony, Lightening, in the woods and one day, he and his pony took a spill. Since his pony had broken 2 legs, they shot it. Robert loved his pony so much, so he did not try to get well, and each day he called pitifully for Lightening. His father had been working on a dictionary before the accident and thought if only he could write a Christmas story that would interest his son. He had written many books for college students, but never a children’s book. He finished writing “Twas the Night Before Christmas” on Christmas eve. As he started to read, a few lines at a time, Robert responded with a tiny smile and by the time he was through reading the Christmas poem, he said, “Read it again.” Again his father read the story of a visit from St. Nicholas. This time when Moore finished reading the holiday poem, Robert asked if their tree was up. When his father said it was, Robert asked to see it. Moore’s holiday poem is now a classic American Christmas story. Despite the reason he wrote it, Moore was a private person and was embarrassed by the popularity of his Christmas poem. The Sentinel, the Troy, New York newspaper, published “Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas” in 1823, but Moore did not acknowledge writing the Christmas story until 1837 when he published the holiday poem in a book under his name. In 1863, the cartoonist Thomas Nast created images of the Christmas story. We associate these images with the Christmas story even today. Clement C. Moore spoke modestly of his Christmas poem but it is a special present to us all. Select this link to view our Miniature Ornaments.
