Night Before Christmas, The - Clement C. Moore - Folio Society - 2023

First published in 1823 as A Visit from St. Nicholas, this short narrative poem describes a household on Christmas Eve. The speaker is settling the children when a clatter draws him to the lawn; he sees St. Nicholas arrive in a miniature sleigh drawn by eight named reindeer, then come down the chimney with a pack of toys. St. Nicholas fills the stockings, lays a finger aside of his nose, and departs wishing a happy Christmas to all. The poem fixes the names of the reindeer and the look of the gift-bringer. The work is a seasonal narrative poem.
