Clement Clarke Moore wrote his poem "An Account of a Visit From Saint Nicholas," later called "The Night Before Christmas," in 1822. Moore was a professor of religion and the author of several scholarly works, but it was the warm-hearted poem he wrote as a Christmas present for his children for which he is best remembered.
