Answer 2

If you mean the poem, "A visit from St. Nicholas", then the poem itself is public domain. So you are free to recite it yourself, record it, and use that for whatever. But, anyone else's usages of it, are themselves copyrighted to each individual person.

Without specifiying which version you mean (and there are MANY versions with same/similar names), it's not possible to say who owns the rights for it. But, the poem itself is public domain.
