Did you know:
1. That this poem was first published in 1823?
2. Was originally titled "A vist from Saint Nicholas"?
3.There is controversy as to the real author? Indeed, some maintain that Henry Livingston Jr. is the real author. Livingston was a distant relation to Moore's wife. Those who support Livingston point out the similarities in style between "Visit" and his other works. Furthermore, Moore allegedly claimed false authorship of another work, and those who knew him described him as somewhat of a curmudgeon, who was unlikely to have written such a poem.
Regardless of who really wrote the poem we have been blessed with it for nearly two hundred years.
Merry Christmas
