[['''The Night Before Christmas''']] (also '''Twas the Night Before Christmas'' and ''A Visit from St. Nick'') is a famous poem first published in 1823 in the Troy ''Sentinel'' and generally credited to Clement Moore.
It gave rise to many of the images now associated with [[Christmas,]] describing a man woken up on Christmas Eve by "such a clatter" that he gets up to see what it is. He sees [[St. Nick]] who, chubby and jolly, comes down the Chimney, fills the stockings with toys, calls his eight reindeer by name, and rides in a sleigh. He leaves by famously wishing a "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Originally the greeting "Happy Christmas" was used, but many [[American]] [[Category:Poems]][[Christmas]][[Category:Stories]]versions of the story use "Merry Christmas."
