Moore had St. Nicholas coming on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day, as did Washington Irving, in his Old Christmas series of essays. The Christmas visitor had many different influences at the time, and the popularity of this poem solidified the character of Santa Claus. Often referred to as “T’was the Night Before Christmas”, it was originally published in 1823.

    Dec 20 2024
    Shepherds, grandmothers and ice skates - Christmas stories from around the world, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening. I’d like to thank those of you who have helped us out these last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, Cilla was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She’s fine, now. She’d had her surgery and is now considered cancer-free. But those cancer bills are no joke. I’m so very grateful to all our supporters who have and do support us, but I’m afraid I need your help again. If you’d like to ensure the future of The Classic Tales, please visit the website, classictalesaudiobooks.com, and either make a donation, buy an audiobook, or pick up one of our many support options. And if you can’t support us monetarily, leave us a review or share an episode with a friend. It all helps. We’re just trying to make it through this rough patch. So, if you can lend a hand, we’d really appreciate it. Lifetime passes are still 60% off until the end of the month. The following four stories were collected in the volume Christmas Stories and Legends, compiled by Phebe A. Curtiss. The stories were chosen based on their merit for teaching moral lessons, primarily to children. And now, Christmas Around the World, by various authors.
