TWAS THE KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

In 1820, an American professor named Clement Clarke Moore wrote a poem that redefined the image of Saint Nicholas.

It was called Account of a Visit from Saint Nicholas. He did not expect it to be published. He wrote it as a Christmas present for his young children.


This poem combines the traditions of Santa Claus, seasonal decorations and gift-giving that have come to define Christmas in America.
