Family Christmas Poems for Kids
Christmas Light
By Val Reason
Coloured crystals
Sparkling and bright,
Shining fir-tree
Ribboned in light.
Through wide windows
In darkening sky,
Star of Christmas
Shimmers so high.
On the branches
Each glowing light,
Mirrors the star
Of Christmas night
Mothers Mean Much More on Christmas Day
By Nicholas Gordon
Mothers mean much more on Christmas day,
Even though they're loved the whole year round.
Rich memories lie knee-deep on the ground,
Recalling years when gifts unopened lay,
Years of Christmases near wild with play,
Christmases of dreams unwrapped and crowned,
Happiness with wings and joy unbound,
Reveling in myths time would betray.
In you there lies the spirit of pure giving,
Sweetness that finds pleasure in my smile,
The gift I can reopen every year.
More than my own, I find your heart forgiving,
A home where I am welcome all the while,
So I can rest assured, for you are near.
The Christmas Pudding
Family Verse By Anon
Into the basin
put the plums,
Stir-about, stir-about,
stir-about!
Next the good
white flour comes,
Stir-about, stir-about,
stir about!
Sugar and peel
and eggs and spice,
Stir-about, stir-about,
stir-about!
Mix them and fix them
and cook them twice,
Stir-about, stir-about,
stir-about!
Embrace the Night
Family poem by Clay Harrison
Embrace this night in Bethlehem,
A night like none before,
For Heaven touched the earth tonight
Through the Christ Child Mary bore.
The Prince of Peace is born tonight
In a stable far away
As shepherds come to see the sight
And Wise Men come to pray.
The King of Kings is fast asleep
In a manger filled with hay
While angels break the silence deep
With songs of Christmas Day.
Love and Joy abound tonight -
Light the torch and ring the bell,
For the Prince of Peace reigns tonight
In sweet Emmanuel!
Embrace the night and feel the glow
That comes from Heaven above
For Heaven touched the earth below
And filled our hearts with love!
Every Day Is Christmas
Cute family poem for kids Every day is Christmas
When you have the kind of mind,
That stores up all the goodness
And the sweetness it can find.
When you don't need an occassion,
To spread a bit of cheer,
But just keep on a-giving,
Of yourself throughout the year.
Every day is Christmas,
With a gaily wrapped surprise,
When you've learned
To see the friendship,
In someone else's eyes.
When you try a little harder,
And complain a little less,
Holding fast to all the fervor
Of the faith that you possess.
Every day is Christmas,
When you've found that you can be
More concerned with words like "you"
And less with "I" and "me".
When it's fun to do a favor,
And to lend a helping a hand,
When being understood means less,
Than when you understand.
Every day is Christmas,
With a beauty deeply cast,
When you find it doesn't matter,
If you're first or if you're last.
When you can face your conscience,
And be glad of what you are,
Then every day is Christmas,
With a stable and a star.
O Come All Ye Faithful
Family Carol
O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Christmas Magic
Family poem By Leslie M. Thompson
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the flat
not a creature was stirring except for the cats
They ran and they played and they jumped 'round with glee
They played with the ornaments 'til they came off the tree
All bright and shiny the ornaments were, now all the ornaments
were just one big blur.
Then all of the sudden came a crash, bang and boom. Yes... it was Santa and not a moment too soon
So with a wink of his eye and a twitch of his nose... he magically fixed my tree; I suppose.
Now all bright and shiny my Christmas tree is - thanks to the magic of
Good Ol' St. Nick.
The kitties were bad but oh well I say - Geez after all... it is Christmas day. Great selection of Family Christmas Poems!
