exist Gotham,,,,, Authors Mike Wallace and Edwin G. Burrows tell the story of a Pulitzer Prize-winning city history, telling the story of how two New York City writers created many stories and traditions surrounding the holidays.
The first one was Washington Irving, who in his 1809 book Nick Bock’s New York History, Created Santa Claus. Owen wrote that St. Nicholas, an old Dutch nicknamed Sancte Claus, parked his carriage on the roof and placed gifts to planks on his feast day, sliding down the chimney. “Wallace and Burrows noticed: “Of course, nothing is beyond reach than the Sancte Claus protray that Irving is known on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. ”
Ten years after his reshaping the saints, Irving also reimagines how to celebrate a church-based holiday. His collection of 1819 short stories this Sketchbook meeting Introduce readers to Ichabod Crane, Rip Van Winkle, and Christmas ideas as a “comfortable family ceremony.”
A few years later, another New Yorker, Clement Clarke Moore, wrote his beloved poem, The Visit of St. Nicholas, which moves the right Jolly Old Elf’s round trip from December 6 (December 6) to the night before Christmas on December 24.
This revision ultimately had a huge impact on how the holidays were celebrated. By then, many Protestants paid little attention to the Dec. 25 Yulitedi designation, which was “an artifact of Catholic ignorance and deception: The New Testament remained silent on the day of Christ’s birth, and they also pointed out that the church, together with the Dec. 25 BAC, chose to match the wintering, which was a beginning with the winter, and it was an increasing number of things.
