Clement Moore
Clement Clarke Moore, a
Bible professor at
New York City's General Theological Seminary, in an
1836 reprint of
A Visit From St. Nicholas, was first credited as the author of the poem, and later included it in an anthology of his work. The poem appeared anonymously in the
Troy, New York Sentinel on
December 23,
1823, and was reprinted frequently thereafter, with no attribution until Moore's name was added to it. Moore's authorship of it has been questioned.
