Christmas Time Is Cherished Traditions
These poems celebrate the traditions, happy memories, and moments spent together at Christmas.
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 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 a Season of Kindness and Giving
These poems remind us that giving and helping others can make Christmas meaningful.
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.
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 your Christmas cheer
Sharing with others throughout the year!
Christmas Time Is Faith and Reflection
Christmas reminds us of God's love and the importance of faith, forgiveness, and gratitude. These poems encourage us to reflect on the true meaning of the season.
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 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 Time Is Love and Goodwill
These poems celebrate the love and goodwill we can share at Christmas and throughout the year.
Christmas Love
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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.
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.
