History of Santa for Parents-Slide show is Dr. Moore’s Visit from St. Nicholas is to share with your children)
In the winter of 1822, Reverend Clemet Clark Moore, a professor at New York’s General Theological Seminary, wrote a poem to amuse his very own children on Christmas Eve. His gift began, “Twas the night before Christmas…” It would not be until 1844 that Dr. Moore would admit publicly that he had written the poem.
Reverend Moore was a serious scholar and preferred to be remembered by the world for his translation of the Bible from Hebrew rather than the man who gave the world “Santa Clause.” Twas the night before Christmas was private something for his family.
Miss Harriet Butler of Troy, New York, was visiting the Moore family in autumn 1823, and saw the poem. She was delighted with the vision of the writing and asked for a copy. In December 1823, Miss Butler sent the verse anonymously to the Troy Sentinel and the editor printed it. Then, very proudly Miss Butler sent Dr. Moore a copy of the newspaper.
Holiday Writing Gifts- Children Can Be Your Family’s Holiday Historian
Writing is the least expensive gift I know. It has other advantages, too: your child can write about his life, your life, whether it’s snowing or raining. They can create their writing gift at the kitchen table, at their desk even lying in bed. There are at least 500 kinds of writing gifts to be made. None of them are fattening, and all are a gift from the heart.
Writing Family Story Gifts:
When your child gives your family the gift of a story they are giving a gift of their time that is from their heart. Besides every family needs someone to preserve stories about their family; your child could be that person, they could become the family holiday historian.
Here are a few great writing ideas to help them get started:
Unpack that menorah, those ornaments, dust off your special Christmas traditions and your loving heart. Introduce new holiday customs into your family, maybe you and your children can come up with a new way to do an old tradition.
