The Night Before Christmas

"The Night Before Christmas" was a 19th century Earth Christmas poem.

In 2152, Jonathan Archer sarcastically suggested that he thought the Kreetassan reconciliation demands might involve "standing on one foot with my eyes shut reciting "The Night Before Christmas"." (ENT: "A Night In Sickbay")

This poem was traditionally attributed to Clement Clarke Moore. It was a telling of the coming of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. (Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 2, p. 82)
