A Christmas Poem

Ring ting ting-a-ling,
Its that jolly old fat man
With a belly full of jelly,
And that jingle from long long ago...
Ding-dong, ding-dong--
It's that sleigh of reindeer who fly in the sky
That laughter and singing from below and on high--
This is the season
To have a good reason
Ring ting ting-a-ling,
To forget others transgressions and petty deceptions
To join the happy, good cheer,
And begin...
With a joyful New Year!


A Reflection on a Christmas Past

A sad time for children in foreign parts
that have no Target stores to be lost and found in.

Sad for inflatable Santa's gunned down by B.B pellets.
For all the children, pets and reindeer that do not make
the last fuzzy bit of the six p.m. news.

I’m working on my happiness, not forcing anything,
being considerate
to people and their wrong opinions -
it’s what the baby Jesus would want.

In the stores, I avoid Christmas music by singing
badly and loudly.

The Real Christmas


From Black Friday to Christmas Eve,
presents to purchase and wrap. 
Office and family parties, visits to relatives
platters of food and gallons of alcohol.
Trees dressed to the nines in dangling baubles
and twinkling lights.
Continuous Christmas carols blaring from radios
and loud speakers.
Wreaths and decorations to adorn tables,
night stands, credenzas, book shelves.
Lights hung in strings so large that rows
of houses look like runways for planes.
Inflatable Santas, snowmen, reindeer and nutcrackers
compete for space in yards.
Nativities, pageants, plays special music
consume congregations.

Is this the real Christmas?
Or perhaps it is-
A silent night, two thousand years ago
in a dimly lit cave.

A babe wrapped in woolen clothes
lying in a sheep’s feeding trough.
Only shepherds and loving parents
in attendance.
An infant destined to change history.
The future savior of the world.

Holiday Fun

Frosty

there once was a snowman named frosty
whose figure was round and quite glossy
he danced through the town
till the sun came around
and left poor old frosty quite saucy



Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

there once was a reindeer named rudolph
whose bright nose would often just show off
he lit up the sleigh
but led them astray
when he stopped for a snack at the bake-off



Santa and the Elves

there once was a santa so stout
whose elves loved to scurry about
but they mixed up the toys
for the girls and the boys
and poor santa was left with a pout

Dasher and Dancer's Christmas Eve Call Offs

The reindeer were sleighing through the snow's glow,
Their journey smooth, with Christmas magic in tow.
But Cupid, Santa's reindeer, fell ill in the night's shade,
The journey stopped, and Santa's heart was dismayed.

Santa feared he'd miss Christmas, and children would fade,
But then he thought of their joy, and his heart was displayed.
He rallied his elves and reindeer, to find a solution's might,
Together, they worked tirelessly, to save Christmas's light.

With a new reindeer in place, the sleigh took to the sky's sail,
Santa delivered gifts on time, with a twinkle in his eye's veil.
The children's faces lit up, with joy and delight's ray,
A Christmas miracle, thanks to teamwork and Christmas's way.


Premium MemberRudolph’s broken leg


Poor Rudolph had a broken leg. It happened on the day
he was to lead the reindeer with Santa on his sleigh.
They say it was an accident, but somehow I have doubt
‘Cause the other jealous reindeers wanted Rudolph out

They tripped him up with tinsel. They’d hoped he’d bash his nose.
I heard it on the grapevine, that’s the way the story goes
But Rudolph he was limping and the reindeer guys felt bad.
They didn’t really mean it. They were really very sad.

So they said that they were sorry for causing him such pain
And promised in the future, he could lead the herd again
So Rudolph, he forgave them and I’m very glad to say
He lights the way for Santa on every Christmas Day.

Christmas Waves of Joy

Beneath the palm trees, Santa sighed, forlorn,
His sleigh stuck fast, his reindeer worn and still.
The Florida sun rose bright that Christmas morn,
A far cry from the frosty North Pole's chill.

The elves devised a clever, timely scheme:
They called on dolphins to replace the sleigh.
With flippers strong, they swam like in a dream,
And Santa laughed, "We'll save this Christmas Day!"

Through waves they flew, with gifts for every child,
A coastal cheer spread warmth both near and far.
Santa proclaimed, his heart and face beguiled,
“Even the tropics can't outshine our star!”

Premium MemberSantas Granddaughter Little Mim

Santa’s little granddaughter was named Little Mim
Her adorable personality had an enormous hold on him
She was sassy and fun, and loved him ever so much
He had sixty-five photos of her on his kitchen hutch.

Little Mim’s curly hair was a treat to the reindeer crew.
They wanted to touch it, acted like it was fresh and new.
She loved the elves, and visited them in the work shop.
They watched her twirl, dance, sing, jump, skip and hop.

Little Mim brought such joy to the North Pole.
All of the workers loved her curious soul.
They taught her to make the toys, and wrap them too.
They loved everything about her, she was never blue.

Santa bragged so much about his granddaughter to others.
They rolled their eyes behind his back, and these were his brothers.
Never appreciating anything he did, not understanding him.
They also could not appreciate the adorable Little Mim.

Premium MemberRudolph's Broken Leg



"In times past, said Santa, I'll admit, I have failed to live up to my name. 
Like you, I shunned poor Rudolph, seeing his nose was not the same. 
We bullied, making him sad, refusing to admit him to the game. 
That lesson was learned when he saved us,(much to our shame.)

Another chance is presented. You see, Rudolph has come up lame.
So, let us rise to this challenge!", we heard Santa Claus exclaim. 
"For too long, we've been unequal, for greater character we must aim. 
It's time to give the honored position, in the front, to a dame!"

Donner scoffed, “we’ll get lost now and Rudolph is the one to blame!. 
When Clarice flew by them, all the reindeer cheered her name,
And decided unanimously they would be proud if she came...
For she was fast as lightning, and they weaved her traces through the hame.

Rudolph’s Broken Leg

On just a small rehearsal flight
Reindeer Rudolph gave us a fright
He took a tumble and when he fell 
He broke a leg, The boss we must tell

Oh how shall we fix this problem 
Normally we’d go without him 
But this year it is going to storm 
And snow will be coming, it’s not warm

But Santa had a solution
To get us through the pollution
We taped a light to Dasher’s plain nose
And watched the sleigh and said, “There he goes!”

Christmas

Candy canes with red swirls.
Hollies strung across the fireplace.
Ring-a-ling, go jingle bells from carolers.
Ice skating with your friends.
Saint Nick gives you presents to open on Christmas Day.
Tinsel wrapped around the tree.
Mothers making sweet treats.
A cookie for Santa, and carrots for his reindeer.
Santa climbing up and down chimneys,, delivering presents.

Premium MemberSanta Got Stranded In Florida


That was an extraordinary Christmas eve for Santa to remember.
In colorful fancy wraps he packed all the gifts through the night,
loaded them on the sleigh until the dawn’s first sunlight shined,
when on snow-laid track the reindeer led by Rudolph charged.

After a while chilled breeze stopped flowing across Santa’s face,
warm winds blowing over palm trees and sands soon greeted him,
that turned in a twist of fate into a strong gust of steamy rainstorm.
He had gone off course, got stranded in Florida, found no way out.

Rudolph was confused, the reindeer stood still in the blinding rain,
but Santa had to move, he had gifts to give to the waiting children.
With magical flick of reins, he made the reindeer leap, the sleigh soar,
resumed his journey north to complete his job on white Christmas eve.

Rudolph’s Broken Leg

The sleigh glided through heavy snow
Santa was worried about the blizzard blow
When suddenly Rudolph stubbled, his leg amiss
The reindeer sighed to see their leader down

The North Pole wore a worried frown
Elf doctors worked with healing care
Santa looked on distraught 
While backup plans filled the frosty air

The sleigh, now powered by a magic spell,
Would soar through the sky, still chiming bells
Rudolph cheered as they started their journey 
For Christmas joy would save the night.

Premium MemberRoudolph's Broken Leg

Roudolph the red nosed reindeer
had a very broken leg
and if you ever saw it
you would say it made you beg

What would Santa do now?
with his lead reindeer in a full leg cast
would he be able to deliver
all the world gifts very fast?

Then the answer came to him, 
as a way to carry on the glee
for all the reindeer to wear a headlamp
and they all went down in history
