Summary "'Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore is a beloved poem written in the early 19th century. This classic literary work can be categorized as a festive narrative poem, capturing the spirit and magic of the Christmas season. The poem's central theme revolves around the anticipation of St. Nicholas's arrival on Christmas Eve, marking it as an enduring symbol of holiday tradition. The poem unfolds on Christmas Eve as a family settles down for the night, with children dreaming of festive treats. Suddenly, the narrator hears a commotion outside and rushes to the window, where he sees St. Nicholas arrive in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. Witty and vibrant in description, the poem depicts St. Nicholas as a jolly, generous figure who brings toys for the children. With a twinkle in his eye and a hearty laugh, he fills the stockings hung by the chimney before departing, leaving behind the enchanting proclamation of "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night." The imagery and rhythm of the poem have captivated readers for generations, making it a cherished part of Christmas celebrations around the world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
