(CBS News) And now a page from our Sunday Morning Almanac . . . December 23rd, 1823, 189 years ago today.
Twas the night BEFORE the night before Christmas,
That the Sentinal printed
"A Visit From St. Nicholas"
Then just newly-minted.
I don't have to tell you, you know it for sure
"A Visit From Saint Nicholas," by Clement Clark Moore.
Someone read it to you and you've read it to yours
This magical story of Clement Clark Moore's.
And though few of us now sleep with 'kerchief or cap,
The poem to the times always seems to adapt.
