It's said that today in 1822, Clement Clarke Moore wrote the verses to what is now the most famous Christmas poem of all time.

S7 E10: The Night Before ChristmasWelcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in to a Christmas Eve reflection on the poem that changed how we see Christmas.Christmas Eve brings us once more to words that have shaped the wonder of generations. Tonight, we return to Clement Clarke Moore's beloved poem, a story that reminds us that imagination, generosity, and joy are timeless companions.Clement Clarke Moore, born July 15, 1799, was a writer and American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, Divinity and Biblical Learning at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City. Clement Moore had strong ties to the seminary, for it was his generosity that led him to donate land — his private apple orchard — upon which the seminary was built. The Seminary remains on that same parcel of land, located at Ninth Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets, in an area known as Chelsea Square.Clement Moore accomplished a great deal in his lifetime. He was a writer and a poet, a professor and scholar. He served twice as President of Columbia College (now Columbia University) and as a board member of the New York Institution for the Blind.Clement Moore published several academic works, including A Compendious Lexicon of the Hebrew Language (Collins & Perkins, 1809). But it was his poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas, that captured the hearts of children young and old. With these poetic words he changed the way we see Christmas.A Visit from St. Nicholas was published anonymously in the Troy Sentinel in 1823. Clement Moore had second thoughts in 1837, when he eventually told everyone that he had penned the poem. Many believe that it is the most well-known and beloved poem written by an American poet. We read it every Christmas, most often on Christmas Eve, and reflect on Christmases past when we were young and heard the familiar words read by our parents and grandparents. Santa and the tradition of Christmas gift-giving were transformed by this poem.There is a particular stillness that arrives with Christmas Eve, the hush before the dawn, the anticipation of joy renewed. As we listen to these familiar lines once more, we honour the enduring spirit of generosity and imagination that binds us together across generations.Until the next cup is poured, dear friends,Merry Christmas from Tea, Toast & Trivia.RebeccaMusic by Epidemic SoundChristmas Snow by Mike Franklynhttps://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/f2e78ede-e8e3-3c38-a3d1-67254d5a4a28/

From Desert Oracle Radio, this is The Eldritch Republic, our new series about America’s strange history & uncanny folklore. Tonight we visit the beautiful country estate of Clement Clarke Moore, the big house called "Chelsea" where he read his Christmas poem to the family. The poem is "A Visit From St. Nicholas," and the country estate is now the neighborhood of Chelsea, New York City. Santa Claus, it turns out, is a New York City native. He was created from old Dutch traditions of St. Nicholas and Sinterklaas, by NYC boosters and literary men such as Clement C. Moore, Washington Irving and John Pintard. Written and hosted by Ken Layne, with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.

On a snowy evening in December 1823, a poem titled A Visit from St. Nicholas—better known as The Night Before Christmas—made its debut in the Troy Sentinel. The enchanting story of Santa Claus, a jolly figure flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, transformed how Christmas was celebrated, turning it into the family-focused holiday we cherish today. But who truly wrote it? While Manhattan professor Clement Clarke Moore claimed authorship in 1844, others argue it was Henry Livingston Jr., a poet from New York's Hudson Valley. This episode unravels the fascinating origins of the poem that gave us Santa's iconic image, the reindeer's thunderous names, and a heartwarming farewell: “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.” Grab your cocoa, hot toddy or irish coffee and cozy up next to the "fire" with Sean, Jorge and Eric.

I'm doing something a bit different for Christmas Eve this year. Last year I read the traditional "Night Before Christmas" poem written by Clement Clarke Moore on December 23rd of 1823. The original poem remained anonymous until 1837 when it appeared in the New York Book of Poetry credited to Clement Clarke Moore - a wealthy Manhattan biblical scholar who lived from July 1779 to July 1863. This year I read a second version too - a version written by the nuns of Sisters of St. Thomas. Very little else is known about this version.
Our gift to you this year, a (semi) traditional reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore. We hope your holiday season is filled with love, joy, and Star Wars toys.

But he is best known to this day as the author of the poem with the opening line “Twas the Night Before Christmas” that has become "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American," from its opening line “Twas the Night Before Christmas…” The poem was initially published anonymously, or rather under a penname, which was customary for poetry at the time, in 1823. As the poem's popularity grew so did curiosity about its author. In response to a query in 1829, a newspaper editor wrote that "We have been given to understand that the author ... belongs by birth and residence to the city of New York, and that he is a gentleman of more merit as a scholar and a writer than many of more noisy pretensions." Fourteen years after initial publication, the author was revealed. It was his children, for whom he had originally written the piece, that encouraged him to submit it for publication.

Clement Clarke Moore is known the world over for his masterpiece of juvenile fiction, Twas the Night Before Christmas — less well-known is Moore's own life story and the involvement of his parents and grandparents during the revolutionary period. Join author and historian Pamela McColl for a festive presentation on the life and times of Clement Clarke Moore (New York, NY 1779-1863) and the Moore and Clarke families' involvement in the Revolutionary War.* This lecture was recorded as part of Fraunces Tavern Museum's Evening Lecture series on Monday, December 9, 2024. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.
The besties are here! We talk about the history of Santa and take a quiz.The OriginsSanta's story starts with St. Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian bishop from Myra (modern-day Turkey). Known for his generosity to children and the poor, St. Nicholas inspired legends that were passed down through generations.From St. Nicholas to Sinterklaas to SantaThe Dutch brought their version of St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas, to America, where the name morphed into Santa Claus. By the 1800s, Santa began evolving into the figure we recognize today.Modern Santa Takes ShapeIn 1822, Clement Clarke Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also called "The Night Before Christmas") gave Santa his jolly personality, sleigh, and reindeer.In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast refined Santa's look with the red suit, white beard, and round belly.Santa in Pop CultureThe 1930s Coca-Cola campaigns brought us the cheerful, plump Santa we know today, thanks to illustrator Haddon Sundblom.Features like his North Pole home, magical sleigh, and toy workshop became staples in Christmas traditions.The Magic of BeliefMany children believe in Santa until around ages 6 to 9, when they start questioning the logistics of his journey.Even so, adults keep the tradition alive, spreading the festive spirit to younger generations.Santa's legend has become a global phenomenon, blending history, myth, and marketing into a magical figure who continues to inspire joy each holiday season.All the Clopen links: https://linktr.ee/theclopeneffectAll material, unless otherwise stated, written and performed by The Clopen Effect
We've entered the month of December, which means that holiday celebrations areunder way and Little House's 50 th Anniversary year will soon enter the history books – orwill it? The show premiered in September of 1974, so the Anniversary year rolls on.More on that to come in later shows.One of the things we'll remember about this December 5 episode of the podcast is thatAlison and Dean did it without the support of our very special host, Pamela Bob, whoZooms in each week from Brooklyn, NY. We missed her and we can tell you today thatPamela is fine, but we can also say that the reason she wasn't with us on Thanksgivinggives us the opportunity to say thanks for her swift return. We'll leave Pamela to sharethe details of her Thanksgiving absence as she chooses.In the meantime, we are deeply thankful for our Bonnethead family, who allow us toconnect and continue the Little House Love that began with the premiere of Little Houseso many years ago.Today we're very excited to welcome the children of a man who was there right fromthe start of the Little House adventure early in 1974. We are speaking of Victor French,Little House's beloved Mr. Edwards. Two of Victor's three children, Tracy Hall and herolder brother, Victor Allen French (not a Junior, BTW) were in town to take part in2024's final Little House on the Prairie tours of Big Sky Movie Ranch on December 1. Theday before the tours Alison and Dean welcomed Tracy and Victor into the studios ofUBNGo in Burbank. It was a wonderful conversation about their unforgettably talenteddad that focused on his portrayal of Isiah Edwards, the transforming power of the role,his passion for the craft of acting, and his children's remembrances of Victor as a veryspecial dad.We also heard about Victor and Tracy's commitment to their dad's creative legacy; theyhave a new online store (see below) and are working on the publication of his theoriesof acting titled, A Matter of Choice. If you worked with Victor or loved his work on stageand screen, we think A Matter of Choice is a “must-read.”For our Patrons we will continue with Tracy and Victor focusing on their gleeful playtimewith their dad that made every day in the French house a kind of laughing, screamingHalloween adventure. Those of us who worked with Victor can totally relate to his extraordinary ability to make us laugh, cry, or scream as the circumstances evolvedduring so many wonderful scenes.A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Written by Pamela):Little House on the Prairie is at the heart of what so many are most grateful for, not justbecause of the timeless stories it told, but because of the lasting impact it has had on allof us. The show brought families together, fostering a sense of community and sharedvalues that transcend generations. It taught us about resilience, love, and theimportance of finding gratitude even in the most challenging times. For many ofus, Little House was more than just entertainment—it was a source of comfort,inspiration, and connection to a simpler, yet deeply meaningful way of life. It has shapedhow we view family, community, and the world around us, and continues to remind usto appreciate the little things in life. Today, as we gather with loved ones, let usremember these values as a country, a community, as human beings.Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

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 pedler 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 on 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 bowl full 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 of sight— “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” A Sony Music Entertainment production.

A Visit from St. Nicholas Poem by Clement Clarke Moore read by Brett
My dad used to read ‘‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” every Christmas Eve when I was a kid, after dinner and before we opened our Christmas pjs. So many of you are missing your dads, or grandparents, or the father of your kids. This year, I asked my dad to record the Christmas Eve classic for the show. I wanted you to have a stand-in grandpa, in case you were missing one of your own. From my family to yours, may you have the best holiday season available to you.

A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously under the title Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas in 1823 and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who claimed authorship in 1837. The poem has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors.

Hi Survivors, I was inspired by a very wonderful friend of mine to write something for the holidays, and here it is! It's a riff on the famous poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore, but made for the Wastelander community. I hope you enjoy it and have very happy holidays!
Denizens of the night, welcome to a special episode of Christmas cheer, and levity. Broadcasting live from a dim corner of Santa's Workshop, I will be your guide as you drift off into restful slumber. Tonight, instead of keeping you awake, I thought it might be nice to completely turn this thing on its head, and read you some sweet classic short stories by a fire! You may have heard these stories before, but if you haven't, you're in for a treat! First is the The Gift of the Magi, written by O' Henry. It's a humorous tale of the sacrifices we make for those we truly love. After that, we'll hear one I discovered just this year: A Christmas Dream, written by Louisa M. Alcott. It's the story of a little girl who comes to appreciate what she has and learns the wonder of giving to others through a fantastic dream on Christmas Eve, and a special surprise the following day. Finishing the collection, we'll hear that familiar poem—A Visit from St.Nicholas, written by Clement Clarke Moore. Usually I like to reappear after the stories for a final word, but tonight you'll hear no more from me after this. After our stories, we shall hear a few hours of the sound of wind and snow outside the window, as we snuggle deeper under the blankets and sleep soundly. Before I go, I want to thank you for all your support this year—I've enjoyed reading your comments, and it's my pleasure to entertain you. If I've managed to make you smile, or better yet leave the hallway light on, just once this year… then it was all worth it. Enjoy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blood-bound-books2/support

This week, we bring you another dose of cheer in the form of our annual Christmas podcast. In the past, I have asked some of my theatrical friends to read out a classic Christmas story, with past readers such as West End stalwart Siobhan Harrison and The Walking Dead star Eleanor Matsura. This year, we have a special treat. On the 1st of December, my family was asked to put together a series of readings as part of a Christmas Carol concert for a charity close to our hearts, Allergy UK. It took place in Christ Church Petts Wood, southeast London and it was a great way to kick off the festive season. I thought it would be a great idea to get some of my friends to read parodies of the Clement Clarke Moore poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas (A Visit from Saint Nicholas)”. The three actors I asked (Ed Stoppard, David Bedella & Myanna Buring) said “yes” straight away, and I couldn't be more pleased. To end the episode, we have Jack Schwab (I know...nepobaby!) singing his Christmas single (co-written with me) "Winter Blue"...available to listen to on all good music streaming platforms.

Author Gerry Bowler joins Tim to discuss the story of Santa Claus. Gerry is the author of the book entitled, “Santa Claus: A Biography.” He talks about everything from Santa Claus's birth and evolution over the centuries, to his role in modern day culture. Santa Claus the philanthropist, Santa Claus the gift giver, and Santa Claus the ad man. This episode was originally released on December 17, 2018. Parental warning: If your child believes in Santa Claus, you may not want him or her to listen. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/322_-_Encore_Santa_Claus.mp3 In his book Gerry details the birth of Santa Claus and his” character development.” Santa is described him as an advocate, an adman, a warrior, and of course his role in entertainment, from movies, television shows and in music, books and literature. St. Nicholas died in December 343 AD. By 1100, he was the most powerful saint on the Catholic Church's calendar. The St. Nicholas legend: One father who was down and out couldn't provide for his three daughters, so he decides to sell them into slavery. So, Nicholas would sneak bags of gold through the father's window, saving the girls from a live of oppression. By the Middle Ages, with gift-giving a part of the Christmas season, different customs emerged. One that grew in popularity was the legend of St. Nicholas coming through a window or down a chimney to leave gifts in stockings and shoes by the fire, by a window or by a bed. By the 16th century, protestant reformers depicted medieval cult of saints. They did not readily embrace St. Nicholas. There was tension between the Protestant and Catholic sects and St. Nicholas was at the center of it. The controversies usually centered over how the communities marked Christmas. St. Nicholas was venerated throughout Europe but debate on whether he ever made it across the Atlantic to North America with gusto. The Feast of St. Nicholas is December 6, most notably marked by the Dutch, which paves the way for the modern celebration of Christmas. The earliest mention of Santa Claus was 1773 in Rivington's Gazetteer, a New York Newspaper. On December 15, 1810, the New York Spectator published a poem about Sancte Claus – a good holy man who brings gifts to good children. The first picture of Santa Claus was published in 1821 when William Gilley of New York published a book of lithographed images with one of Santa Claus. “The Children's Friend: a New Year's Present, to Little Ones from Five to Twelve.” In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore was credited for authoring the classic poem, “The Night Before Christmas.” Other topics we discuss: Santa Claus in Books and Literature Santa Claus in Music Santa Claus in Advertising (We address the Coca-Cola Santa myth) Santa Claus in Motion Pictures and Television Links Santa Claus: A Biography, by Gerry Bowler (Amazon) A Visit from Saint Nicholas (Night Before Christmas), Clement Clarke Moore Saint Nicholas, Biography.com Coca-Cola and Santa Claus, Coca-Cola Company Saturday Evening Post and Santa Claus, Saturday Evening Post Miracle on 34th Street Motion Picture, IMDb St. Nicholas to Santa: The Surprising Origins of Mr. Claus, National Geographic About this Episode's Guest Gerry Bowler Gerry Bowler is a Canadian historian, specializing in the intersection of religion and popular culture.

"A Vist from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot 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 our brains for a long winter's nap,When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my 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 a lustre of midday to objects below,When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,With a little old driver so lively and quick,I knew in a moment he 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, Donner and Blitzen!To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;So up to the housetop the coursers they flewWith the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head, 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 pedler 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 on 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 bellyThat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full 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 headSoon 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 of sight—“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” Hi, I'm Grace, and this is the Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Poems Podcast.

[School of Movies 2023] An absolute landmark in terms of stop-motion animation within cinema. Conceived in the early 80s by Disney animator Tim Burton and manifesting first in an 11-minute poem after the style of both A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas from Doctor Seuss. That was developed into this oddball story of a pale loner of an outsider (who is also wildly popular because of course he is, this is Tim Burton). The skeleton king of Halloween town falls in love with the unfamiliar and delightful trappings of Christmas itself. This leads him into drumming up the spooky but hapless monster people of his realm into crafting their OWN Christmas, with all kinds of horrors! Our guest tonight has literally written a thesis on stop-motion, and we have been waiting for him to record this show. It launches almost exactly at the 30-year anniversary of the movie. Coming this weekend we have a Cutting Class episode on Patreon with all the material that didn't make this final edit. And if you're on the lookout for Halloween reading, my Lady Dracula novel "Castle of the Moon" will be available to buy in Paperback form (as well as the eBook version on Patreon) Guests: Toby Jungius @TJungius of Through the Wind Door

Henry, followed by the poem “The Night Before Christmas.” Published in 1905, this O.Henry story tells of a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. “The Night Before Christmas” is formally titled “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and written by Clement Clarke Moore, anonymously published in 1844. — read by V — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories Learn more about your ad choices.
