As one of the most recognizable poems in the English language, the cultural influence of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" is undeniable. Clement Clarke Moore, the supposed poet, did not originally expect for the poem to reach such a level of popularity; in fact, he had likely anticipated that any popularity he would attain would be the result of a Hebrew Dictionary he wrote. In the end, however, it was the poem that managed to not only become his most notable work, but also to make Santa Claus into what he is today--a jolly old elf who continues to fill the hearts of kids and adults alike with joy and laughter.
