Any idea who penned these immortal words? How
about Longfellow or Francis Scott ,Key or Lord Alfred
Tennyson? `
Try again, and if you said Clement Clarke Moore
give yourself two pats on the back.
According to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations,
eleventh edition, Moore (1779-1863) penned these
words in A Visit From St. Nicholas which was publish-
ed in December of 1823.
There's one you can try on your Christmas trivia
buffs.
