A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously 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.
