The story:

On Christmas Eve, 1822, Clement C. Moore's house is not as quiet as a mouse
- in fact, everyone is stirring.  The three children await the arrival of
St. Nicholas.  Mother and Father arise thinking they hear intruders.  Cousin
Harriet enlists the children to copy the poem their father has just written
for them, which she hopes to have published for all young people to enjoy.
But Father, as a distinguished professor who fears being known as a poet for
children, burns the poem so it can never leave the house.  At first
heartbroken, the children unite to save the poem for posterity by
improvising it through a riotous enactment.  How they convince their father
that his verses should be shared with children everywhere brings about the
hilarious, happy ending.
