A Visit From Saint Nicholas by Clement Clark Moore

Clement clark moore was a professor at the general theological seminary in new york city, where he taught subjects such as hebrew and greek literature. He said that he had written it for his children back in 18 22, and that he had never intended for it to be made public outside their family at all. There is also a competing claim to the authorship of a visit from saint nicholas. Descendants of major henry livingston junior had said that he, not moore, was the one who wrote the poem.
