youtu.be/OgOZOZbF0p4 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! Lets Read: Twas the night before Christmas by Henry Livingston, Jr. (1823) Subtitles: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Portugese I have chosen this poem, because I wanted to do something that connects my current home (Troy) and my real home (Dresden). This poem was first published anonymously in the Troy Sentinel (New York) in 1823. It is one of the most famous and known English Christmas poem in America. In 1837 Clement Clarke Moore claimed authorship. In a book of poems Moore said that he wrote the poem on Christmas Eve in 1823. But Livingstons family claims that the poem was a family tradition that began in 1808. University professor Don Foster and British researcher Jil Farrington separately did research that may prove it was Livingston rather than Moore who was the poems author. In 1947 the German author Erich Kästner (born in Dresden) translated A Visit from St. Nicholas (also known as The Night Before Christmas) into German. There we have our little connection. Merry Christmas!
