This easy printable Children's Holiday story is called: The Night Before Christmas
"A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line) is a poem
written by Clement Clarke Moore, first published anonymously in 1823. It is largely responsible for the conception of Santa Claus from the
mid-nineteenth century to today, including his physical appearance, the night of his visit, his mode of transportation, the number and names
of his reindeer, and the tradition that he brings toys to children. Prior to the poem, American ideas about St. Nicholas and other Christmastide
visitors varied considerably.
