Santa Poem Creation and Moore’s Christmas Legacy
Authors and readers recall the Christmas poem history from Clement Moore’s A Visit From St. Nicholas. The verse introduced the sleigh and eight reindeer and popularized Santa’s chimney entrance as Moore’s gift to 19th century readers. Trinity Cemetery hosts yearly wreaths on Moore’s grave in New York City.
