Christmas
Trending
Christmas,
It’s here, you’ll see a lot of deer.
It’s wonderful,
there are presents
and lots of food.
Santa Claus, he’s checking his
Trending
list, going to find out
who’s naughty
or nice. Christmas, it brings
me to see,
that everyone wants to see me
on Christmas day. Christmas
is fun, you don’t want it
to be done.
If you don’t have
fun now, you’ll miss out!
– Seth Roberts
Christmas Surprise
Christmas eve is here, hear the sleigh
bells ring.
Hurry hurry set out the cookies so Santa
Claus can see.
Jump in bed and cover your head,
try to go to sleep.
For if you don’t you will surely wake
with coal under the Christmas tree.
But if you do you will wake
with a nice warm blanket for your family
and you. But when you wake with a blanket so gentle
and warm you smile and say thank you Santa,
God bless you.
– Emily Weitzel
Best Day of the Year
Sitting by the fire
with chestnuts roasting
with presents under the tree
it is a wonderful thing to see
spending time with your family
is peaceful
listening to carols on the stereo
is nice calm and peaceful
sledding down a hill
covered in snow
Christmas is one of the best
times of the year
Christmas dinners
family gatherings too
spending time with family
is one of the best things you can do
– Jonathan Sparks
A Christmas Tree
It’s Christmas time and we need a tree,
So we can fill this house with glee.
Our tree is a fake one,
Not a real;
We bought our tree for a really good deal.
We set up our branches
One by one.
We set them up until we are done.
When we are finished we put on the lights,
Then we go to the kitchen to have a bite.
There are cookies in the oven
And some on a plate,
Some in my stomach, which I already ate.
The tree is decorated,
The lights have a glow;
This is going to be a good Christmas
Trust me, I know.
– Jenna Harbeck
Christmas Time is Here
Christmas is a time to see,
Everyone is excited, and dancing with glee.
Christmas is a time to hope,
Santa will come with a big load,
Of presents for you and your family,
Maybe a new bike or TV.
Christmas is a time to wish,
You won’t get a big red kiss,
But grandmas do that, you can’t stop them,
As they squeeze your cheeks,
As you try not to squeak.
Christmas is a time where you hear,
“It’s time for giving not getting”
It’s wishing you were near,
Your grandparents far away,
But your glad your cousins, are here to stay.
So what is there to fear?
Christmas time is here.
– Cheyenne Nelson
Duck Hunt
Get up early for the hunt
Grab your gun and your
Decoys and go hunt
Put the decoys in the
Water, get in the blind
And wait for the ducks
to come in…
When you see them coming
Then call them in
then blast them
when you limit for the
day go home –
gut the ducks
then put your worm clothes
away in the closet
last of all clean your gun so
it is ready for another day
Of hunting.
– Bryce Edison
The Holiday Season
The holidays are here.
It’s having people to care for.
Getting together with family
And friends. Snow is falling from the sky
spreading Christmas cheer.
Putting up the Christmas tree and lights.
Listening to the carolers sing
While baking our favorite treats.
Standing under the mistletoe
Awaiting a kiss from the one you love.
Getting together to watch our
Favorite Christmas shows on TV.
I think this is really neat
When the time is right grabbing
My trusty sled and putting it to flight.
Down the hill we go hoping for more snow.
When the holidays are through.
I think to myself, AT LAST.
Not being in despair because the holidays will
be returning next year.
– Zac Courtney
On Christmas
On Christmas there is lights, tree, food, and snow. Snow
is fluffy, soft and clean. Snow is so much fun. Snow you can
go sledding, snowboarding, snowmobiling too. Food is all
around on the table, ham, turkey, potatoes, gravy, and stuffing
too. Trees are lit up with bright lights, trees big and small.
Trees with fake snow, pinecones, bright lights, and a star. Lights
are all on the house. Have a bright Christmas Day
to all.
– Tyler Warner
Sweet Senses
Sleigh
runners, softly jingling bells
the only things she hears
Dark twilight, snow softly falling
the only beauty I see
Fresh glittering snow, molten cocoa cookies
the only luscious she tastes
Spraying snow, warm furs around her
the only things she feels
Fresh sharp wind whistling up her nose
the only thing she smells
The sleigh comes to a sudden stop
she peers out of her lair
She hears a new sound
she wonders what it is
She alights from the sleigh
all wrapped in furs
It’s the magic tune
that Christmas plays.
– Klara Ault
Christmas Time
When the snow begins to pour
Then its time that the joyous season occurs
Happy hours in the woods
Old rusty saws put to use
Unpacking loads of boxes
Decorating the tree
Dressing up for Family to see
Around Christmas time you hear cash registers sing
And phones constantly ring
It’s about spending time with family
Stuffing down the turkey
Wearing silly costumes
and singing holiday carols
Being with the family, That’s what Christmas means to me.
– Andrea Schaefer
Christmas Time
Looking out the window at
the snow
Wondering how, while the
snow falls
How the snow thinks and
knows
How to fall through the
blue
And pull hard with
call
For you to bundle up to
play
You need to see the
clue
The snow falling majestically
for you
While the fireplace of
clay
Sends it’s warming
beams
To kindly comfort
you
While the tree sends the
pine
The scent of pine that
thoroughly clears your
head
While a cat dreams of a
great tree
climb
Sleeping under the cover
of the tree
Enjoying the distant warming
beams.
– Zach Schwendiman
Cookies and Milk
Christmas is coming,
Christmas is coming,
Toy stores load up and wait,
Elves in a rush,
Santa with a headache,
Christmas is coming,
Christmas is coming,
Presents under the tree,
Cookies and milk for Santa,
Stockings filled with candy,
Christmas is coming,
Christmas is coming,
Reindeer flying across the sky,
Their “HoHoHo” in the air,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
– Ethan Maasdam
Christmas
Christmas is cool,
With lots of things to do
So many for each and every one of you
Christmas trees getting decorated,
Stockings getting hung, presents
Getting opened fun, fun, fun
Eating lots of food and
Chocolate wrappers all over the floor
Mistletoe hanging on every door
Sledding with your family,
And friends too Christmas is cool
Now you know why
Don’t forget to eat lots of
Ham, and chocolate too
– Steven Simpson
Christmas Star
Christmas star, little light high in the sky,
Dreaming, dreaming of Christmas day.
Riding in a long toboggan pulled behind a Jeep,
Around my backyard, the smell of pine, the taste of yams,
My family home for the holiday. Snowflakes
Fall as softly as a feather in’ till the wind blows,
Snowflakes become freezing rain dangerous weather.
Christmas star why a sad goodbye! Only to see
You again. Christmas star that lead the 3 kings
Safely to Bethlehem, lead all my family safely home!
– Andy Martin
Christmas Time…
Christmas is…
A time to shop until you drop.
A time of joy for every little girl and boy.
A time to get that special tree and watch dad turn as cranky as a bee.
A time to eat that yummy treat.
Christmas is…
A time to sing and dream about what Santa will bring.
A time for family and friends and those 3 french hens.
A time to play in the snow when it is 20 below.
A time to cook and watch mom give you the look.
Christmas is…
A time to give a hug when you get that lime green VW bug.
A time for lights and cold snowy nights.
A time to share and show how much you care.
A time for love in all of the above.
Christmas is…
