Book excerpt: It is a long, long journey from the pious, thin Bishop Nicholas of Myra to the roly-poly dispenser of gifts on Christmas Eve. Why the tremendous appeal of a bishop in one of the remote corners of the Roman Empire? How did he become the jolly denizen of the North Pole? Here, lavishly illustrated with pictures that allow us to see as well as to read about Nicholas's transformation, is the story of an enigmatic figure. As the years flow by, the author points out, we come to know both less and more of this most popular saint. We lose and forget the details of his life, what he did and did not do, what he looked like when he walked through the streets of Myra. But paradoxically, with the accumulation of time it seems the spirit of the man drops its legendary, miraculous trappings and shines forth the more beautifully. We partake yearly of what must have been Nicholas's childlike joy, generosity, and concern for others: the soul of the saint himself. As "Saint Nicholas" persuasively argues, we have won the better part. -- From publisher's description.

Book excerpt: "A Visit from St. Nicholas", more commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who claimed authorship in 1837. Some commentators now believe the poem was written by Henry Livingston Jr.The poem has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive impact on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors. "A Visit from St. Nicholas" eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists.On Christmas Eve night, while his wife and children sleep, a father awakens to noises outside his house. Looking out the window, he sees Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) in an air-borne sleighpulled by eight reindeer. After landing his sleigh on the roof, the saint enters the house through the chimney, carrying a sack of toys with him. The father watches Santa filling the children's Christmas stockings hanging by the fire, and laughs to himself. They share a conspiratorial moment before Santa bounds up the chimney again. As he flies away, Santa wishes everyone a "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night."AuthorClement Clarke Moore (July 15, 1779 - July 10, 1863) was a writer and American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, as well as Divinity and Biblical Learning, at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in New York City. The seminary was developed on land donated by Moore and it continues on this site at Ninth Avenue between 20th and 21st streets, in an area known as Chelsea Square. Moore's connection with the seminary continued for more than 25 years.Moore gained considerable wealth by subdividing and developing other parts of his large inherited estate in what became known as the residential neighborhood of Chelsea. Before this, the urbanized part of the city ended at Houston Street on Manhattan island. For 10 years, Moore also served as a board member of the New York Institution for the Blind.He is credited and is most widely known as the author of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", first published anonymously in 1823. It later became widely known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and has been published in numerous illustrated versions in various languages. Scholars debate the identity of the author, calling on textual and handwriting analysis as well as other historical sources.
