T'was the Night Before Christmas – you know how it goes. Clement Moore, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Welcome to this Vintage Episode of The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

If you'd like to give the gift of The Classic Tales Audiobook Library to someone during this festive season, you're in luck. For a limited time, our lifetime passes are 60% off, and what's more – you can give it as a gift.

This product is not always available, has never been giftable before, and never goes on sale. Go to classictalesaudiobooks.com and get the perfect gift for the Classic Tales enthusiast on your list – a lifetime pass.

This little poem we're reading today profoundly influenced the American tradition of Santa Claus. Moore had St. Nicholas coming on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day, as did Washington Irving, in his Old Christmas series of essays. The Christmas visitor had many different influences at the time, and the popularity of this poem solidified the character of Santa Claus. Often referred to as "T'was the Night Before Christmas", it was originally published in 1823.

And now, A Visit from St. Nicholas, by Clement Moore

I'd like to thank those of you who have helped us out these last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, Cilla was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She's fine, now. She'd had her surgery and is now considered cancer-free. But those cancer bills are no joke.

I'm so very grateful to all our supporters who have and do support us, but I'm afraid I need your help again. If you'd like to ensure the future of The Classic Tales, please visit the website, classictalesaudiobooks.com, and either make a donation, buy an audiobook, or pick up one of our many support options.

Does the robber's forest actually transform into a sumptuous garden on Christmas Eve? Selma Lagerlöf, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

I'd like to thank those of you who have helped us out this week. As I mentioned last week, Cilla was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She's fine, now. She'd had her surgery and is now considered cancer-free. But it's been a rough time. We're still dealing with the aftermath, and those cancer bills are no joke.

I'm so very grateful to all our supporters who have and do support us, but I'm afraid I need your help again.

Not looking to get rich, here. Just trying to make it through this rough patch. So, if you can lend a hand, we'd really appreciate it. Lifetime passes are still 60% off.

Selma Lagerlöf was a Swedish writer, who lived from 1858-1940. She was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1909, "in appreciation of the lofty idealism, vivid imagination, and spiritual perception that characterize her writings".

And now, "The Legend of the Christmas Rose", by Selma Lagerlöf.
