  1. A Christmas Wish

    • By Debra L. Brown
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    If I had one Christmas wish to make, I would not wish for a million dollars. I would love to spend one Christmas day with my family as I did when I was a child, over fifty years ago. To me, Christmas has always been about spending it with family and friends.

    in Christmas Poems

    I wish I could go back to the past,
    of Christmases long ago.
    I wish I could see my loved ones
    who have passed on long ago.

  5. The Hush Of Christmas

    • By Carl F. Verge
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2019 with permission of the Author.

    As the president of a theological college, each year it was my pleasure to present the personnel with a Christmas honorarium with a personal note attached. One Christmas, instead of the usual note, I composed the following poem. It has never been used since.

    in Christmas Poems

    Have you observed this Christmas thing?
    How shoppers shop and sleigh bells ring,
    And children wrapped in muffs and cuffs
    Are trying out their newfound stuff.

  9. My Childhood Christmas Memories

    • By Paul Hayward
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    I've always loved Christmas, but I've never recaptured the magic of childhood Christmases; that is until I had a child of my own. A childhood Christmas is the best Christmas - full of innocence and wonderment, and seeing it through the eyes of a child once more is a true gift.

    in Christmas Poems

    My childhood Christmas memories always make me smile.
    I'll often drift to long ago and stay there for a while.
    Remember singing carols long before the date?
    Of counting days from Halloween, I really couldn't wait.

  10. My Christmas Wishes

    • By Beryl L Edmonds
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    As one gets older, sadly we see many loved ones pass on, and over the Christmas season they're missed more than ever. Memories of the happy times that were shared stay alive in heart and mind, always and forevermore.

    in Christmas Poems

    I wish for my lost loved ones to spread wings
    So they'd fly back and share all Christmas things,
    Just as they did back in their days on earth
    And the holy birth was a source of great mirth.

  12. A Poem Of Bliss

    • By Roxanna
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2010 with permission of the Author.

    Hello, my name is Roxanna Johnson. I am 17 and currently a sophomore at my high school. I enjoy writing because it defines emotions that may otherwise never be experienced. I am currently published with two other sites and am looking forward to reviews from this amazing site as well. I am so very grateful that so many individuals pursue literature and enjoy its benefits. That is why I choose to write. I write mainly poems, but I have jotted down a few stories.

    A happy fat Santa busy one day,
    Looks to his elves, all busy with work and no play.

  14. Christmas In My Eyes

    • By Ella Phillips
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    Christmas for me is a time filled with love and joy and family. It celebrates a historical event that forever changed the world as we know it: the birth of Jesus. This time is special because I get to reflect on the year and everything God has done for me. I get to spend time with my friends and family. That's why I love Christmas.

    in Christmas Poems

    People saying, "Ho, Ho, Ho"
    Lovers kissing under the mistletoe
    Children playing in the snow

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
    from Glenn and Arlene

    in Christmas Poems

    Christmas lights twinkle and shine as bright
    as the stars in the sky on a cold, clear night.
    The fresh blanket of fallen snow,
    it looks so pretty on the tree boughs.
