克来门特．摩尔 (Clement Moore) 被认为是在1822年12月24日完成圣尼古拉斯的拜访 (A Visit from St. Nicholas) 的作者

也许你曾经看过这些有名的句子：「这是圣诞节的前一晚，房子里没有人醒着，就连老鼠也正在睡觉。」许多人都认为克来门特．摩尔在1822年12月24日，也就是圣诞节的前一晚，写下了这首名为「圣尼古拉斯的拜访」的经典诗作。你应该知道这就是「圣诞节前夕」发生的故事吧。当他从曼哈顿的格林威治村 (Greenwich Village) 回到家中时，摩尔会买一只火鸡当成全家人的圣诞晚餐。后来摩尔为了取悦他的六个小孩，而写出这个故事，并且在平安夜说给他的小孩们听。
