Christmas Family Poems For 2015

  •  Mama told me a story a long long time ago not like any that I'd ever heard,
    all about a little girl mama used to know, how I remember every word.
    Seems like a lifetime ago, though I remember it so well,
    it was a Christmas eve I'll never forget as far as I can tell.
    We were sitting at the kitchen table, it was only my mother and me,
    I was dreaming of Christmas morning and all the presents under the tree.
    Dad wasn't doing that well and money was scarce that year,
    Mama found a way of telling me without me shedding one tear.
    She told me a story of a little girl and a Christmas long ago,
    who came from far away, a place where it rarely snowed.
    Santa was just a dream to her, but she believed so much inside,
    that Christmas was going to be special, so she knelt by her bed and she cried.
    "Lord let Santa remember me if not just this one time, I promise I won't ask for much, maybe a dolly I can call all mine."
    She closed her prayer and thanked the Lord for all that she received,
    she knew that Santa would really come if only she believed.
    She wrote a letter to Santa unfamiliar to most girls and boys,
    Though her list was long and full, on it there were no toys.
    Only things we take for granted, like new shoes or underpants,
    hair bows for her sisters and gloves to warm her brother's hands.
    At the bottom of her list she asked if it not be to much, for a brand new baby doll she could hold and love and touch.
    Then Christmas morning came and she looked beneath her tree,
    Not a present to be found as far as she could see.
    She didn't give up hope as she heard a knocking sound,
    When she opened up her door a great big box she found.
    She called out to her mother and dad, brothers and sisters too,
    She said "my prayers were answered, there's something in here for all of you."
    Her daddy got brand new boots, her mother new underpants, her sisters got beautiful hair bows, her brothers warm gloves for their hands.
    Buried deep beneath the box was a brand new baby doll and a note that said Merry Christmas I love you one and all.
    I'll never forget that story because much to my surprise,
    I saw the true meaning of Christmas shining in my mother's eyes.
    For those of you who are wondering, as if you didn't know,
    The little girl in Mama's story was my mother long ago.

    This poem is about a childhood memory I will never forget. God bless all the mothers in this world and may all your Christmases be ones to remember.
  • 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.
  • Christmas is filled with special joys,
    And the very best of all
    Is contemplating those dear to us,
    And the memories we recall.
    We often think at Christmas time
    Of people, affectionately,
    And we realize how blessed we are
    To have you in our family.
  • Christmas is great;
    My time is mine to spend;
    I can be with friends or watch TV;
    I wish it would never end.
    I don’t miss school or homework;
    I really like to be free;
    But I’ll miss you when I’m gone from school;
    You’re just what a teacher should be.
    So have a perfect Christmas;
    Be sure to have lots of fun;
    I look forward to seeing you again,
    When Christmas is done.
    I made a Christmas wish for you,
    For a holiday full of pleasure,
    Friends and family all around,
    And memories to treasure.
    I wish for you a Christmas filled
    With joyous holiday cheer;
    I wish you a Merry Christmas.
