"The Night Before Christmas" is a famous Christmas poem written by Clement Clarke Moore in 1823. It's also known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas."

The poem tells the story of Santa Claus, who comes to visit a house on Christmas Eve. It describes how Santa and his reindeer land on the roof, how he enters the house through the chimney, and how he leaves presents in stockings for the kids. The poem also describes what Santa looks like and how he's always in a jolly mood. This poem has played a big role in how we imagine Santa Claus, including the idea of him riding a sleigh pulled by reindeer and the tradition of leaving milk and cookies out for him. Many families read this poem to their children on Christmas Eve, and it's a special part of the holiday season.
