y work clement c moore original manuscript page one a visit from st nicholas also known as twas the night before christmas clement clarke moore s poem a visit from st nicholas is one of the most beloved christmas classics eventually becoming widely known by its opening line twas the night before christmas both titles are used in various iterations of the poem which has charmed readers for nearly two centuries with its vivid portrayal of st nicholas and the magic of christmas eve the poem s origin a snowy christmas eve in 1822 the narrative begins on christmas eve 1822 when reverend clement moore s wife was preparing a traditional feast of roasted turkeys to distribute to the local parish s poor families upon realizing that she was one turkey short she enlisted her husband to procure the missing bird braving the snowy streets of new york city moore called for his sleigh and coachman and made his way downtown to jefferson market located in what is now the bowery section of manhattan the jingling of sleigh bells the bustling market atmosphere and the spirit of the season must have filled moore s mind as he journeyed to fetch the turkey it was during this ride that inspiration struck and moore began composing the verses of the now iconic poem in his head returning home with the turkey moore shared his new creation with his family after dinner the verses which vividly described the arrival of st nicholas in a miniature sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer enchanted his children its rhythmic cadence and playful imagery captured the wonder of christmas weaving together traditions that would come to define the modern depiction of santa claus from private inspiration to public treasure although moore intended the poem as a private family treasure its fame quickly grew beyond his household some months after moore first recited it his children shared the poem with a visiting family friend miss harriet butler enthralled by the verses butler copied them into her album the following december likely unaware of moore s wish to keep the poem private she submitted it to the troy sentinel a newspaper in upstate new york on december 23 1823 the poem was published anonymously under the title a visit from st nicholas for over a decade the author of the poem remained unknown it was not until 1837 when moore reluctantly permitted his name to be associated with the piece for its inclusion in the new york book of poetry that his authorship became public later in 1844 moore included the poem in a collection of his works titled poems which he published primarily for distribution among family and friends from then on the poem s renown grew exponentially becoming a cherished part of christmas celebrations worldwide the surviving manuscripts of the original poem only four manuscript copies are known to exist today the whereabouts of the original draft remain a mystery and it is presumed lost to history the surviving manuscripts are preserved at the new york historical society the huntington library in california and the strong museum in rochester new york these manuscripts along with the poem itself represent a cornerstone of christmas tradition and literary history enduring legacy since its first anonymous publication in 1823 a visit from st nicholas has been reprinted countless times and continues to captivate readers of all ages the poem s whimsical depiction of santa claus and the magic of christmas eve has cemented its place as one of the most beloved works in the english language it has shaped cultural perceptions of santa claus and inspired generations of christmas tales embodying the enduring joy of the holiday season footnotes jefferson market historically a prominent marketplace in new york city it was a bustling hub for goods and provisions during the 19th century the troy sentinel a newspaper based in troy new york credited with the first publication of the poem bringing it to a broader audience st nicholas moore s depiction of the character drew from european folklore but his imaginative portrayal including the iconic reindeer solidified the modern image of santa claus surviving manuscripts the three known manuscript copies are valued as cultural and literary treasures reflecting the poem s historical significance clement c moore original manuscript page two a visit from st nicholas also

moore graduated from columbia in 1798 demonstrating early academic excellence the moore family owned significant land in manhattan s chelsea neighborhood a portion of which clement donated in 1819

america moore served as a professor at the seminary from 1821 to 1850 teaching oriental languages biblical studies and scriptural interpretation and earning a reputation as an eminent lay theologian moore was also a pioneering scholar in the study of hebrew authoring a compendious lexicon of the hebrew language the first american published hebrew lexicon this scholarly achievement underlined his dedication to advancing theological education in the united states earlier in his career moore anonymously critiqued thomas jefferson s notes on the state of virginia reflecting his engagement with political and intellectual debates of the era moore resided near the seminary in the area of present day 23rd street between eighth and ninth avenues in new york city his legacy extends beyond academia to literature as he is famously attributed with the authorship of the classic poem a visit from st nicholas commonly known as twas the night before christmas though this remains a topic of scholarly debate his contributions to education theology and culture firmly established him as a key figure in 19th century american history footnotes columbia university formerly known as king s college it was renamed after the american revolution and remains one of the most prestigious institutions in the united states general theological seminary founded in 1817 it became a vital institution for the episcopal church in america largely thanks to moore s philanthropic land donation a compendious lexicon of the hebrew language published in 1809 it was a groundbreaking resource for theological students and scholars in the early united states clement c moore original manuscript page three a visit from st nicholas also known as twas the night before christmas a visit from st nicholas by clement c moore twas the night before christmas when all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that st nicholas soon would be there the children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads and mamma in her kerchief and i in my cap had just settled down for a long winter s nap when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter away to the window i flew like a flash tore open the shutters and threw up the sash the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave the lustre of mid day to objects below when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer with a little old driver so lively and quick i knew in a moment it must be st nick more rapid than eagles his coursers they came and he whistled and shouted and called them by name now dasher now dancer now prancer and vixen on comet on cupid on donder and blitzen to the top of the porch to the top of the wall now dash away dash away dash away all as dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly when they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky so up to the house top the coursers they flew with the sleigh full of toys and st nicholas too and then in a twinkling i heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof as i drew in my hand and was turning around down the chimney st nicholas came with a bound he was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot a bundle of toys he had flung on his back and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack his eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry his cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry his droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow the stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath he had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly he was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf and i laughed when i saw him in spite of myself a wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread he spoke not a word but went straight to his work and filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk and laying his finger aside of his nose and giving a nod up the chimney he rose he sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle and away they all flew like the down of a thistle but i heard him exclaim ere he drove out
