Christmas Time Is All I Want

Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011

My favourite thing about Christmas time,
Is spending it with you.
The Christmas lights and festive delights,
Are also wonderful too.

I love the stories and Christmas songs,
About reindeers and Santa too.
So many great things for the children,
And adults just like me and you.

My favourite colours are red and green,
Which Christmas loves to flaunt.
Can't forget all the other great things,
Christmas time is all I want.

Christmas is the day that holds all time together. Alexander Smith Christmas Quotes

Christmas Time Is

Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011

Christmas time is:

Children excited,
Trees decorated,
Families together,
Laughter and memories.

Shopping for gifts,
Giving to others,
Sharing goodwill
And good food too.

Gatherings and laughter
Memories made
Pictures taken
A feeling of togetherness.

The ending of a year
Holidays for all
A time of busyness
And a time to relax.

Whatever
Christmas is to you
May it be filled
With all you love.

Christmas Time is Kindness

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Christmas time is kindness, a season to share,
With love in our hearts, showing others we care.
A helping hand offered, a smile freely given,
Acts of pure goodness that make life worth livin’.

From small deeds of service to gifts from the heart,
Each kindness reminds us we’re never apart.
For Christmas is more than bright lights on the tree —
It’s the warmth we share with our community.

For Christmas is more than bright lights on the tree -It’s the warmth we share with our community. Christmas Poems About Hope

We Often See

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

At Christmas time we often see
People filled with joy and glee.
We see a helping hand
Given to every woman and man.

People generously giving
So others feel like Christmas living
Less grumbling and talk
But others helping to fill the socks.

A spirit of peace is felt by all
Unfortunately it doesn't take long to fall
Why can't this feeling carry on to the new year
A feeling of goodwill and of cheer.

So when the New Year rolls around
Don't send your feelings underground
Continue with you Christmas cheer
Sharing with others throughout the year!

A Time

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Christmas is a time of peace
A time of love; of hating to cease.

Christmas is God's greatest gift
With our praise we do uplift

Christmas is a time for giving
But most important is forgiving.

Christmas is a time to pray
Giving thanks for the day.

Christmas is recognized and celebrated
With friends and family and all related.

Without Christmas the world would be a sad place
Thank God for His blessings and His grace.

Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace. Pope Francis Christmas Joy Poems

Christmas Time is Faith

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Christmas time is faith, a season to pause,
To honor the wonder, the joy, and the cause.
A moment for quiet, a heart full of grace,
Reflecting on love in each sacred place.

With gratitude growing as softly we pray,
We cherish the gifts that light up our way.
For Christmas is more than what shimmers or gleams —
It’s the faith that fills all our hopes and dreams.

Christmas Love

Christmas time shows a need
A time for doing good deeds
A time for sharing love
Remember God who is above.

But love can never be bought
Helping others should be sought
Christmas time is for sharing
To show others lots of caring

If only Christmas love would stay
With us each and every day.
The world would be a better place
Brotherly love we should all embrace.

The world would be a better place 	Brotherly love we should all embrace. Christmas Messages

Love In Our Hearts

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Christmas time is love, a joy we all share,
A warmth in our hearts, a kindness laid bare.
Goodwill surrounds us, like snowflakes that fall,
Bringing peace to our homes and hope to us all.

With open arms and smiles that shine bright,
We gather together on this holy night.
For Christmas is more than the gifts that we give -
It’s the love in our hearts that helps others live.
