The Night Before Christmas (1968)

4.8 | Dec 01, 1968 (US) | Animation, Family, Drama, TV Movie | 00:26

Fictionalized account of how Clement C. Moore came to write "A Visit from St. Nicholas." His young daughter, stricken with pneumonia, asks for a Santa Claus story for Christmas. No such story had been written, so Moore writes his famous poem, set to Ken Darby's music and sung by The Norman Luboff Choir.
