Santa Claus In America

 

.....a little old driver so lively and quick.....

He was dressed all in fur.... He had a broad face and a little round belly...........He was chubby and plump, a tight jolly old elf.

Clement C. Moore penned the poem to amuse his wife and children 199 years ago. It was shared with family and friends, one of them shared it with the local newspaper. Fifteen years later Clement C. Moore finally takes credit for writing the poem. He was a professor of Greek, Hebrew and theology and was afraid his professional credibility would suffer if word got out that he wrote T’was the Night Before Christmas.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.  --Ann--
