I wrote... er, stole this poem in 1996. The original was titled A Visit from St. Nicholas, by the way, not T'was the Night Before Christmas. Over the years I added an audio recording, then music, then made the video. The whole story and a few other versions are available at this HamRadioNow Episode. There's a version without music that you can play on a repeater, and text so you can read it yourself. You don't have to ask in advance: permission granted.
