Aunque Clement Clarke Moore es hoy conocido principalmente como el autor de "A Visit From St. Nicholas", durante su vida fue un respetado profesor de literatura y un erudito de lenguas antiguas. Sus actividades académicas incluyeron una profunda dedicación a la literatura oriental y griega, y compiló un importante léxico hebreo. Moore estuvo profundamente conectado con la ciudad de Nueva York, donando terrenos para un seminario teológico y dando nombre a un barrio en su honor. Su legado literario perdura de manera más prominente a través de su querido poema navideño, que se ha convertido en una preciada tradición festiva.

"I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick," wrote Clement Moore in 1822. Since then, his graphic Santa Claus image has become the world's. Moore's jolly old self, the reindeer-sleigh and chimney leap, the bag full of toys and visions of sugar plums so richly vivid in his poem, practically beg to be colored — and now they can be, in this coloring book illustrated by John O'Brien. The text of the poem accompanies the drawings, most spread over two pages, which capture in marvelous detail that tingle of Christmas best sensed by children.
