'Twas the Night Before Christmas...in Chelsea

Christmas comes to the D train

Not a creature is stirring...except for people visiting the building on West 22nd Street, where Clement Clarke Moore is credited for having written A Visit From St. Nicholas. OR DID HE?

Weekend Edition Host David Furst spoke with Gothamist's Ben Yakas, who talked about the disputed origins of the poem, and the current owner of 314 West 22nd Street, who has been putting up a display to celebrate the poem for the past few years. Yakas also recited a few lines of his own poetry. And of course, we threw a little Michael Bublé in there. Give it a listen!
