Chronicle As Books The Night Before Christmas
This poem first appeared in a newspaper in Troy, New York, USA, on December 23, 1823, as "A Visit From St. Nicholas". No one claimed authorship until 13 years later. Clement Clarke Moore, a professor and poet, said that he wrote the piece for his children. Unbeknownst to him, his housekeeper had sent it to the newspaper to be published. However, the family of Henry Livingston Jr. contended that their father had been reciting “A Visit from St. Nicholas” for 15 years prior to publication. Regardless of the true author, the poem is now a Christmas classic.Describe Out Of Books The Night Before Christmas

This is the most iconic of all popular Christmas books -- and for a reason. This is the first book that named the eight reindeer, and was responsible for the popular "vision" of what Santa Claus looks like today!This book sets forth a poem penned by Clement C. Moore -- a man known in his time for publishing his "Hebrew and English Lexicon" -- for his children one Christmas. I've read this so many times that I could recite it from memory, but I'd rather read this beautiful version which includesNeo led us through this holiday classic that never fails to put me in the mood for Christmas. Perhaps it is the silence in the house or the stirring atop the roof, but I can never get enough of the story. When St. Nick calls on his reindeer to make a soft landing and he exits to deliver presents, all I can think of is the gleam in the eye of little children (and Neo) to see what might be left. With some challenging words for Neo to tackle, especially those not usually used any longer, he was
This book is featured on today's Shabby Sunday @ https://readrantrockandroll.com/2017/...This is one of my most treasured Christmas books to read over the holiday season, particularly on Christmas Eve.

This was a cute story that my students enjoyed. The illustrations were amazing! However, the vocabulary in the book was hard for my students to understand, so we had to have many discussions on what the book is saying.
We read this book as our Holiday tradition every Christmas Eve. It's one tradition that we have never overlooked. A story for the young and the young at heart. It wouldn't be Christmas without this.
It wouldn't be Christmas without this wonderful book at our house.I used to read it to my children and now it's my grandchildren that love to listen to this story.Pure nostalgia that really sets the scene for Christmas and I have noticed the adults listen too.
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. I didnt know before that this poem was well on its way to being 200 years old. Its no wonder it has held on so long, with its cheerful mood and loving detail.
