Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve


We gathered close together Christmas Eve,
while windows framed a winter fairyland;
our own 'frosty the snowman' stood on guard
beneath the moon, with hat and scarf so grand.
 
With joy, we finished trimming up the tree
while Jingle Bells played on the stereo,
and thinking that just any moment soon
dear Santa Clause and Elves were good to go

with all the toys they'd gathered and packed up
on Santa's magic sled to fly away,
cheered on by prancing Reindeer and sleigh bells
to bring kids Season's Joy on Christmas Day.
