Directed by Jim Pabian
Overview
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.
