Clement C. Moore was an American author. During his lifetime Moore wrote on a variety of subjects. Although most famous for Twas the Night Before Christmas, he also wrote other poetry, which was published in the Portfolio and similar periodicals.
“A Visit from St. Nicholas” was first published anonymously in the Troy (New York) Sentinel on December 23, 1823. Clement C. Moore took credit for the work in 1844 after it appeared in his collection Poems. He claimed that he had written it to amuse his children for Christmas in 1822 and that, unknown to him, it had been copied and given to the Sentinel.
