WHO WROTE "A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS?" (A TIMELY REPEAT)




Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Who Wrote "A Visit From St. Nicholas?"–A Timely Repeat.
     For many years a controversy has surrounded the poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly called 'Twas the Night before Christmas.
     Who wrote it? Was the author Clement Clarke Moore (attributed) or Henry Livingston?
     This is a Whodunit, a mystery still unresolved. For a challenging short read during the holiday season, please click on link:  http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/henry/xmas/livingstonmoore/index.htm#author

     Make sure you click the link near the bottom of that web page for the original poem published in the Troy Sentinel on December 23, 1823.
     Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
