‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

By Anonymous · Illustrated by Matt Tavares About

Before 1823, most children outside Holland and Germany didn’t even know who Santa was. Then, in 1823, a New York newspaper printed an anonymous poem entitled “An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas”. This was the first time many children in America had heard of Santa Claus. Wondering what might happen if they hung their stockings by the chimney, many children did, and were greeted by an array of treats. News of this incredible phenomenon spread quickly. Soon the poem was reprinted all over the world, and Santa Claus has been a very busy man ever since.

Matt Tavares is the author-illustrator of Zachary’s Ball. He says of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, As a child, I would lie in bed, unable to sleep, listening carefully for any sign that Santa Claus and his reindeer might be on the roof. There were times when I was sure I heard sleigh bells. But I never saw him come down the chimney. Maybe someday.
