  1. Holidays

    Famous Poem

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet who lived from 1807-1882. He experienced tragedy in his life with the unexpected death of two wives. In this poem, he shows that we all have special moments in our lives that we celebrate, and they become our own personal holidays. They are days to remember certain people or events that have impacted our lives. Longfellow uses similes in this poem to show the purity of those meaningful holidays.

    in Famous Holiday Poems

    The holiest of all holidays are those
    Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
    The secret anniversaries of the heart,
    When the full river of feeling overflows;--

    • By John P. Read
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    It seems children believe Christmas is more about Santa than Jesus.

    Across a white December night,
    Each home is filled with candle light.
    The moon shines brightly in a golden sky.
    Stars are twinkling way up high.

  7. Listening For Santa

    • By Annabel Sheila
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2008 with permission of the Author.

    Remember as a child when you were scared to be awake in the night on Christmas Eve? I thought I heard Santa one time, then Mom bent down and kissed my forehead. I'm sure she noticed my tightly squeezed eyes when she moved the blankets off my head.

    in Christmas Poems

    A squeak on the stairs.
    Could Santa be here?
    Better pull my blankets
    Up to my ears.

    Lying down on the ground
    In the cold, fluffy snow

    I was afraid to be left alone

  9. 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

  13. Santa's Gift

    • By Elaine P. Keefe
    • Published by Family Friend Poems December 2018 with permission of the Author.

    Christmas is a magical time of year, a time when anything seems possible and we rise above petty differences and unimportant spats to wish the best for people everywhere. Santa Claus is the embodiment of the spirit that encompasses us during this season of happiness and good will. There are those, of course, who find no joy in Christmas, but perhaps with Santa's help, there is hope for them too.

    in Christmas Poems

    The laughter of eternity's children
    Resides in the glint of his eyes,
    And his joyous laugh, which surrounds us all,
    Leaves an echo that never dies.

  14. Before The Ice Is In The Pools

    Famous Poem

    Emily Dickinson was an American poet who lived from 1830-1886. The first volume of her poetry was not published until four years after her death. In this poem, it’s not clear what the speaker was waiting for, but some believe it could be Sue, Emily’s sister-in-law. They spent many years corresponding with each other but had moments of estrangement. Some believe this poem also has religious and spiritual references to touching to cloak of Jesus and crossing over to death. Or it could simply be about waiting for winter to arrive. This poem is composed of quatrains (four-line stanzas) that follow the ABCB rhyme scheme.

    in Famous Holiday Poems

    Before the ice is in the pools—
    Before the skaters go,
    Or any check at nightfall
    Is tarnished by the snow—
