Milk and cookies are out, Kids are tucked in tight. There’s so much to do On Christmas Eve night! Before you take a snooze And dream of the next day, Don’t forget some food For the friends who pull the sleigh! You see, reindeer need snacks, too A little love and fun To help Santa through the night, And get the important job done! Poem 2 The First Christmas by Marian Swinger It never snows at Christmas in that dry and dusty land. Instead of freezing blizzards, there are palms and drifting sands, and years ago a stable and a most unusual star and three wise men who followed it, by camel, not by car, while, sleepy on the quiet hills, a shepherd gave a cry. He’d seen a crowd of angels in the silent starlit sky. In the stable, ox and ass stood very still and calm and gazed upon the baby, safe and snug in Mary’s arms. And Joseph, lost in shadows, face lit by an oil lamp’s glow stood wondering, that first Christmas Day, two thousand years ago Poem 3 Snowball By Shel Silverstein I made myself a snowball, As perfect as could be, I thought I’d keep it as a pet, And let it sleep with me. I made it some pyjamas, And a pillow for its head. Then last night it ran away, But first, it wet the bed! ____ #storytimelydia #Christmaspoems #Childrenschristmaspoems ___ *I use affiliate links which means if you buy something through this link, I make a small percentage of revenue. ___ Credits to MIxkit for music and sound effects.
