1. From Us To You
It's Christmas time,
And I wish you well.
May the Lord bless you
With the best of health.
I hope the stockings are hung
And you're filled with wonder.
There are so many surprises
For you to ponder.
May your children be merry
When Santa brings toys.
Some for the girls
And some for the boys.
I pray you have food
And plenty to eat:
Turkey and gravy
And lots of sweets.
I hope your family's there,
Friends and neighbors, too.
So merry Christmas
From all of us to all of you.Featured Shared StoryHits home! It's perfect, not to long and straight to the point. I could see this in a Christmas card.

2. Listening For Santa
A squeak on the stairs.
Could Santa be here?
Better pull my blankets
Up to my ears.
He comes down the chimney,
That's how he gets in.
Santa uses magic
To make himself thin.
I better keep still,
Can't make a peep.
He doesn't leave toys,
Unless you're asleep.
My door just opened.
Someone's by my bed.
It wasn't Santa after all,
'Cause Mom just kissed my head.Featured Shared StoryA falling sound in the chimney. Could it be Old St. Nick? Better pull my covers and go to sleep.

3. The Joy Of Christmas
Christmas is a loving hug
Or roasting chestnuts on the rug.
Christmas is one's first snow
And wrapping presents up with bows.
Christmas is sledding over the ice,
And giving presents feels so nice.
Christmas is a friend.
I never want Christmas to end.Featured Shared StoryI was honored to know this author's father when he was first born and celebrated many Christmases with him and his Mom and Dad. This poem made me remember the wonderful Christmases we had. I...

4. Another Christmas
Lying down on the ground
In the cold, fluffy snow
Forcing angels to stay on the earth
I was afraid to be left alone
So I fell, I fell so deep
Like snow that's falling again
It's Christmas, it's Christmas again
But not for me, not without you
Tonight my heart was frozen cold
It was dark and soullessly true
Stars falling down as I made a wish
Hoping for you to catch me at once
So I fell, I fell so deep
Like snow that's falling again
It's Christmas, it's Christmas again
But not for me, not without youFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

5. Holidays
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;--
The happy days unclouded to their close;
The sudden joys that out of darkness start
As flames from ashes; swift desires that dart
Like swallows singing down each wind that blows!
White as the gleam of a receding sail,
White as a cloud that floats and fades in air,
White as the whitest lily on a stream,
These tender memories are;--a fairy tale
Of some enchanted land we know not where,
But lovely as a landscape in a dream.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

6. Before The Ice Is In The Pools
Before the ice is in the pools—
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow—
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!
What we touch the hems of
On a summer's day—
What is only walking
Just a bridge away—
That which sings so—speaks so—
When there's no one here—
Will the frock I wept in
Answer me to wear?Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

8. Christmas Day
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.
The cool, still air, a glistening frost,
Smoking chimneys on white rooftops.
The Christmas tree, the mistletoe,
Christmas carols, our loved ones at home.
Christmas is a time for merriment and cheer.
It's also a time to thank God we're here.
So when we wake on a bright Christmas morn,
Remember the reason we celebrate.
It's the day our Saviour was born.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

9. Christmas
It is seven a.m.,
And the snow is falling
As I look outside
At the carolers calling.
I wake up my parents
And rush to the tree
To find a room full of presents
Just for me.
The hot chocolate is stirring,
And the food is being made
As we head to my grandma's
To visit and stay.
As I see my family gathered
And laughing away,
I think to myself,
How I love Christmas Day.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

10. Christmas In My Eyes
People saying, "Ho, Ho, Ho"
Lovers kissing under the mistletoe
Children playing in the snow
Families making homemade treats
Teens with fuzzy socks on their feet
Dogs and cats sitting by the fire heat
Shoppers looking for the best gift
Employees working on their last shift
Students getting home before the snow drifts
Choirs singing, "Noel, Noel, Noel!"
Volunteers ringing little bells
Candles with winter smells
Reindeer flying through the skies
Everyone waking up to a surprise
That's what Christmas is in my eyesFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

11. Santa's Gift
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.
The good will he sows so generously
Wraps us warmly in blankets of cheer,
And the words that he speaks bring great hope and joy
To small angels far and near.
To see a child's hopeful excitement
As he rests upon Santa's knee
Or the look of wonder on her face
When she encounters the magical tree
Overwhelms my heart with tenderness
And brings me lightness of mind.
Santa is here to spread his gift
Of peace to all mankind.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

13. Christmas Feelings
That cheerful feeling
In the air
With a bit of love
All around
The food is on the table
And the presents under the tree
Dinner is ready
So come on, let's eat
Everyone is at the table
Eating their Christmas meals
Because it's the most
Wonderful time of the year
Look out your window
Thank God for letting it snow
It's the best time of the year
To spend with family
The night has passed
And the day has come
There are presents to open
And more fun to come
But it's not about presents
It's not about food
It's about family time
That's Christmas time
