A Visit from St. Nick Forever Stamps, 2021 Booklet – Christmas Cards and Letters

“A Visit From St. Nicholas” was first published on December 23, 1823, in the Troy Sentinel from Troy, New York.  It was written anonymously at first, but in 1837, Clement Clarke Moore came forward as the author.  It is said that, as a professor, Moore was initially reluctant to be associated with such a nonacademic piece of writing.  History says it was his children who finally convinced him to take credit.
