Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an American short story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. One of Irving's most lasting contributions to American culture is in the way Americans perceive and celebrate Christmas.
