Welcome to the Growlery's first Holiday/ Winter Aesthetic Special. Today's episode covers the 1823 poem A Visit From St. Nicholas, the ongoing debate of who wrote the poem and a publisher that censored Santa! Hope you are well and enjoy the episode!
Correction--I am wrong Moore and Livingston most likely never met, though I think they would have been great writing buddies.
