Christmas Long Ago

By Jo Geis

Frosty days and ice-still nights,

Fir trees trimmed with tiny lights,
Sound of sleigh bells in the snow,
That was Christmas long ago.

Tykes on sleds and shouts of glee,

Icy-window filigree,
Sugarplums and candle glow,
Part of Christmas long ago.

Footsteps stealthy on the stair,

Sweet-voiced carols in the air,
Stocking hanging in a row,
Tell of Christmas long ago.

Starry nights so still and blue,

Good friends calling out to you,
Life, so fact, will always slow…
For dreams of Christmas long ago.
Let Every Day Be Christmas

By Norman W. Brooks

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

A Song Was Heard At Christmas

Poem By : Timothy Dudley-Smith

A song was heard at Christmas

To wake the midnight sky:
A saviour’s birth, and peace on earth,
And praise to God on high.

The angels sang at Christmas

With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King
His glory and his love.

Christmas

( M.E. Miro )

Christmas is more than a day in December

It’s all of those things that we love to remember
Its carolers singing familiar refrains
Bright colored stockings and shiny toy trains
Streamers of tinsel and glass satin balls
Laughter that rings through the house and its halls
Christmas is more than a day in December
Its the magic and the love
That we’ll always remember

Poinsettia

(Charles Woo)

Poinsettia smiles in winter.

People know Christmas is nearer.
Yellow pistil with red leaves appear
In all greeting cards every year.

When Santa Claus Comes

A good time is coming, I wish it were here,

The very best time in the whole of the year;
I’m counting each day on my fingers and thumbs —
the weeks that must pass before Santa Claus comes.

Then when the first snowflakes begin to come down,

And the wind whistles sharp and the branches are brown,
I’ll not mind the cold, though my fingers it numbs,
For it brings the time nearer when Santa Claus comes.

Mom Is Making Christmas

By Vicky A. Luong

Cookies baking in the kitchen-

The smell floats through the air;
Mom is making Christmas
with her usual merry flair

The house she gaily decorated,

Each gift she stiched with love,
And we’ll gather around the Christmas tree
for an evening of old-fashioned fun
This evening she’ll sing a carol for us
With her angel’s voice.
Yes, Mom is making Christmas-
A true reason to rejoice.

A Christmas Wish
Poem By: Eugene Field

I’d like a stocking made for a giant,

And a meeting house full of toys,
Then I’d go out in a happy hunt
For the poor little girls and boys;

Up the street and down the street,

And across and over the town,
I’d search and find them everyone,
Before the sun went down.

Candlelit Heart

Poem by Mary E. Linton

Somewhere across the winter world tonight

You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance…something we can share.

You will be singing, just the same as I,

These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,

One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see —
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.

And all the time that we must be apart

I keep a candle in my heart.

By Marie Irish

Bright Christmas stars shine on high,

Golden stars in the wint’ry sky;

Send s greeting into the night;

While in our hearts the Christmas flame,

Glows with a love like his who came,
The infant Christ of lowly birth,
To bring good will and peace to earth.

It’s hope reborn again,
For peace, for understanding
And for goodwill to men!

Christmas Poems About Jesus

In Christianity, Christmas Day is the day when Jesus Christ was born. With its deep roots in
Christianity, it is not surprising to find poems about Christmas with Christian meaning of it.
Here are some good Christian Christmas poems that you may enjoy this holiday season.

The Meaning Of Christmas

Far away in Bethlehem, a Baby Boy was born;

Born with neither riches nor with fame,
Yet Wise Men came from all around to bring to Him their gifts,
And peace was felt by all who heard His name.
Angels watched Him as He slept, and gently rocked His bed;
Their voices singing softly in His ear;
His Mother and His Father both gave thanks to God above
For the greatest gift of all, their Son, so dear

They knew His life upon this earth would not be filled with wealth,
They also knew He would encounter strife;
But most of all, they knew that He would be a loving Child,
And teach the love of God throughout His life.

At Christmas, as we celebrate this Birth of Jesus Christ,

Let’s keep in mind the truth of Christmas Day;
For it’s not the Christmas wrappings, nor the gifts that lie within,
But our gift of love to others in every way…

Christmas Giving

By Iris W. Bray

Christmas is for giving

And for showing that we care,
For honoring the Christ Child
With the loving gifts we share.

The wise men gave of riches;

The shepherds, faith and love.
Each gift, in its own measure,
Was smiled on from above.

Let every gift be treasured;

Not always size or price
Determines the extent of love
And willing sacrifice

Handsome gifts with festive trim

Bring smiles of sweet content,
But modest gifts of humble means
are ofttimes heaven sent.

Whether it be large or small,

Each gift will share in part
The message of true Christmas joy
If given from the heart!

Christmas Is Coming
Blowing through the snow topped trees,
Whispers the chilly new winter breeze,
The town will soon be frosty cold,
And all the Christmas trees be sold,
Mistletoe will hang throughout the frown,
With not a single penguin wearing a frown
Because if you are out to have some Christmas Fun,
There’s no place better than Club Penguin
– Mindell
Merry Christmas to My Love

By: Nicholas Gordon (poems4free)

Merry Christmas to my love!

Enjoy the holiday!
Revel where the angels move,
Rejoice in what they say!
Years burn life down to a stub;
Christmas comes and goes.
Happiness lies at the nub,
Refuse of one’s woes.
Inside the husk there is the seed,
Shivering with glory;
The midnight cold, the dire need,
Mere setting for the story.
All the labor, loss, and pain
Sings of beauty born again.

A Christmas Tree

One little star on the top of the tree,

Two little presents underneath for me,
Three silver ropes twisted around the tree,
Four colored lights shining prettily,
Five shining balls flowing silvery.
Oh, what a sight for use to see!

Christmas Wreaths
Our Christmas wreaths are fat and round,
Made of the woodsy things we found.
We tied brown cones upon the green,
And stuck red berries in between.
Upon the wreath on our front door,
We tied red ribbon from the store.

A big bulging pack

We’re glad he’s come back!

I’ve been waiting for Christmas,

And it’s almost here.
I’ve been waiting for Christmas,
Santa’s getting near.

Can’t you hear the sleigh bells ringing?

Reindeer up so high.
Can’t you hear the children singing,
As they watch the sky?

Christmas Secrets
I know so many secrets
Such secrets full of fun;
But if you hear my secrets,
Please don’t tell anyone.

Here are some lights that twinkle,

Here is an ornament.
Here is a great big present
From Grandpa it was sent.

And on the very tip-tip top,

An angel you can see,
What is the secret? Can’t you tell?
Why, it’s a Christmas tree!

Religious Christmas Poems

Manger Song

Written by Frederick M. Lynk

Young Mary the Mother

Gazed fondly at Him,
And softly fingered
The manger’s rim.

St. Joseph sat musing

On a bundle of hay,
The shepherds played sweetly
A bagpipe lay.
The angels stood smiling
In heaven’s joy
And humbly adoring
The infant Christ-boy.

The ox and the donkey

Forgot the fresh straw
And knelt down in wonder
At what they saw.

The walls were shining

Like molten gold,
The winds sang gaily
Around the fold.

And gleaming silver

Strewed every star,
And sang a star greeting
From heaven afar.
Christmas Is A Time For Love And Fun

Christmas is a time for love and fun,

A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It’s time to give your heart to every one,

That not one angel fall, to hatred won

For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,

Or friends to care what happens on the run

To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It’s time to give your heart to everyone,

For God loves all, and turns His back on none,

Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone. .

Fun Christmas Poems

Sitting Under The Mistletoe

Sitting under the mistletoe

One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.

Tired I was; my head would go

Nodding under the mistletoe
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen – and kissed me there.
Smells of Christmas

(Written by Bernard Howe)

I love the smell of Christmas,
along with all the lights.
Log fires in the fire place,
on those cold winter nights.

The smell of Christmas goodies,

that are baked with tender care.
The smell is just the greatest,
there’s nothing to compare.

The evergreen’s so fragrant,

the smell of Christmas season.
Like the hanging of mistletoe,
thats done for a good reason.

The red berries of the holly,

in that arrangement on the table.
Which I’m sure is much better ,
then Christmas in that stable.

Poinsettia’s all around,

to balance off the garland.
Music boxes everyplace,
bought by my sweet darlin’.

Cinnamon and Peppermint,

fills the air thats in our house.
And what is stirring in the night,
is not the Christmas mouse.

Those pies that make me drool,

just sitting there on that shelf.
Is as if they were made special,
for that jolly old Christmas elf.

Lovely Christmas Poems

With This Candle

Where there is light,

there is hope.
Where there is friendship –
peace and truth.
Christmas is a time
for celebrating the special people
in our lives.
When I cannot find my way,
I light a flame.
And at Christmas . . .

I think of you.
Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky;
On the walk and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.

On the window-ledges
On the branches bare;
Now how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.

Look into the garden,

Where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.

Now the bare black bushes

All look soft and white.
Every twig is laden-
What a pretty sight!
May This Christmas Be the First of Many

May this Christmas be the first of many,

Each more joyous in our growing love,
Revealing more of happiness than any
Riches might provide or pain remove.

Years flow like an unrepentant river,

Carrying the soil of life away,
Holding far more than they can deliver,
Rushing past the certitudes that stay.
In love there is an instance of forever
So shy and lovely it eludes the eye,
The sense of being home when we’re together,
More enduring than a reason why.

As love is born of passion, borne by will,

So may for many years we choose love still.

Christmas Past

By Carice Williams

Each Christmas I remember

The ones of long ago;
I see our mantelpiece adorned
With stockings in a row.

Each Christmas finds me dreaming

Of days that used to be,
When we hid presents here and there,
For all the family.

Each Christmas I remember

The fragrance in the air,
Of roasting turkey and mince pies
And cookies everywhere.
Each Christmas finds me longing
For Christmases now past,
And I am back in childhood
As long as memories last.

Christmas Poems for Friends

Christmas Is a Holiday for Friends

By: Nicholas Gordon

Christmas is a holiday for friends,

However they may be, or not, related.
Remember that the three wise kings were strangers
In search of one remote, uncanny dream.
So may we all be far more than we seem,
Together bound for dark and haunting changes,
More lovely for the loves we have created
Along the lonely paths from means to ends,
Stumbling towards that star of Bethlehem.
The Dear Old Tree

By Luella Wilson Smith

There’s a dear old tree–an evergreen tree

And it blossoms once a year
‘Tis loaded with fruit from top to root
And brings to all good cheer.

For its blossoms bright are candles white

And its fruits are dolls and toys
And they all are free for both you and me
If we’re good little girls and boys!

Short Poems about Christmas

Wonder

By Nancy Buckley

There is faint music in the night,

And pale wings fanned by silver flight;
A frosty hill with tender glow
Of countless stars that shine on snow.

A shelter from the winter storm,

A straw-lined manger, safe and warm,
And Mary crooning lullabies,
To hush her Baby’s sleepy sighs.

Her eyes are rapt upon His Face,

Unheeded here is time and space;
Her heart filled with blinding joy,
For God’s own Son–her little Boy!

Short Christmas Poems for Church

Christmas Eve

By Christina Rossetti

CHRISTMAS hath darkness

Brighter than the blazing noon,
Christmas hath a chillness
Warmer than the heat of June,

Christmas hath a beauty

Lovelier than the world can show:
For Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low.

Earth, strike up your music,

Birds that sing and bells that ring;
Heaven hath answering music
For all Angels soon to sing:

Earth, put on your whitest

Bridal robe of spotless snow:
For Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low.
Christian Christmas Poems

Bethlehem Of Judea

A little child,
A shining star.
A stable rude,
The door ajar.

Yet in that place,

So crude, folorn,
The Hope of all
The world was born.
The Gift of God

(Written by Mary Fabyan Windeatt)

There was seen a radiance
Glowing one night
Near the little maiden Mary
In blue and white.

“Lilies are not fairer,

“Roses more red,
Than the Child she sings to slumber,”
An angel said.

So the shepherds ventured

Through the white cold,
And their eyes beheld the Infant,
An hour old.

Long they gazed and wondered,

Awkward in awe,
At the paramount perfection
Within their straw.

“Diamonds are but trifles!

“Rubies no gem!”
Cried the hearts that slaved for pittance
Near Bethlehem.

So it was forever,
After the night
When the little maiden Mary
Wore blue and white.

Christmas Poems for Greetings

The Stockings Are Hung

The stockings are hung,

the carols are being sung.
My heart is filled with joy,
along with every girl and boy.
It’s really hard to go to sleep,
you want to go and take a peep.
And, when you’re finally in bed,
visions of Santa dance in your head.

Your stockings are overflowing,

everyone’s face is glowing.
You must open family presents first,
you’re so excited you just might burst.
Then Santa’s are the next to go,
you tear off the wrapping and the bow.
You rip them open one by one,
seeing toy after toy, each filled with fun.

Once your thank-yous have been said,

you are definitely ready for bed.
You tell everyone good-night,
and your heart becomes light.
And while in bed,
the day dances in your head.
You thank the Lord for today,
while you slowly drift away.

Happy Days

(Written by Rhoda Sivell)

The bells in town are ringing,

‘Tis Christmas time, we know;
But not a sound of the bells we hear
Out across the shifting snow.
Across the wind-swept prairie,
Where the wild chinook winds blow.

‘Tis Christmas night, and we’re far away

From all we love and know,
But faces are bright, and hearts are light;
Outside is the drifting snow.
And we talk, and laugh, and sing with joy,
Out where the chinooks blow.

It’s Christmas night, and they drink a toast

To the loved one, far away;
One to the boys from the sunny South,
And one for the old range ways;
But the one we all love best of all
When they call out “Happy Days.”

‘Tis Christmas night on the old wild range,

And the Northern Lights aglow,
Dance o’er the grim grey cut-banks,
And down on the drifting snow.
And the coyote sneaks by the frozen creeks,
And the wolf calls long and low,
But the toast on the range is “Happy Days,”
Far out where the riders go.
Santa’s Lap
I like to visit Santa Claus
When Christmastime is near.
It’s fun to climb up on his lap
And whisper in his ear.

He says, “My dear, have you been good?

Have you done what Mother said you should?
Do you brush your teeth and hair each day?
Are you kind to others when you play?

I listen to each question

And answer every one.
Although I am ashamed to say
I must say no to some.

But Santa never scares me;

He doesn’t even scold.
He just says, “Try again, my dear,
You’re a fine lad, I am told.”

Gee, I like to visit Santa Claus

When Christmastime is near.
It’s fun to climb up on his lap
And whisper in his ear…
Little Pine Tree
 In summertime my branches were a place for birds to nest,
In autumn my branches were their place for food and rest,
And now that wintertime is here, I hope to be all glistening
bright with snowflakes…
The little birds’ Christmas tree!
