This carefully crafted ebook: \u00abThe Night before Christmas \u2013 or A Visit from St. Nicholas (with the original illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith)\u00bb is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The poem, which has been called \u00abarguably the best-known verses ever written by an American\u00bb, is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. Prior to the poem, American ideas about St. Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors varied considerably. On Christmas Eve night, while his wife and children sleep, a man awakens to noises outside his house. Looking out the window, he sees St. Nicholas in an air-borne sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. After landing his sleigh on the roof, the saint enters the house through the chimney, carrying a sack of toys with him. The man watches Nicholas filling the children’s Christmas stockings hanging by the fire, and laughs to himself. They share a conspiratorial moment before the saint bounds up the chimney again. As he flies away, Saint Nicholas wishes everyone a \u00abHappy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.\u00bb Clement Clarke Moore ( 1779 \u2013 1863) was an American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, as well as Divinity and Biblical Learning, at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Located on land donated by the \u00abBard of Chelsea\u00bb himself, the seminary still stands today on Ninth Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets, in an area known as Chelsea Square. Moore’s connection with that institution continued for over twenty-five years. He is the author of the yuletide poem \u00abA Visit from St. Nicholas\u00bb, which later became famous as \u00ab’Twas the Night Before Christmas\u00bb.<\/p>\n
