克來門特‧摩爾 (Clement Moore) 被認為是在1822年12月24日完成聖尼古拉斯的拜訪 (A Visit from St. Nicholas) 的作者

也許你曾經看過這些有名的句子：「這是聖誕節的前一晚，房子裡沒有人醒著，就連老鼠也正在睡覺。」許多人都認為克來門特‧摩爾在1822年12月24日，也就是聖誕節的前一晚，寫下了這首名為「聖尼古拉斯的拜訪」的經典詩作。你應該知道這就是「聖誕節前夕」發生的故事吧。當他從曼哈頓的格林威治村 (Greenwich Village) 回到家中時，摩爾會買一隻火雞當成全家人的聖誕晚餐。後來摩爾為了取悅他的六個小孩，而寫出這個故事，並且在平安夜說給他的小孩們聽。
