  • "The Night Before Christmas" Excerpt

    • 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
    • Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    • The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    • In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
    • The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    • While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
    • And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
    • Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap;
    • When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    • I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    • Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    • Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
    • The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    • Gave the lustre of midday to objects below—
    • When what to my wondering eyes should appear
    • But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/christmas/poems-rhymes/the-night-before-christmas.html
  • ''A Catastrophe'' Kids Christmas Poem

    • If old Kriss Kringle should forget
    • To travel Christmas eve,
    • I tell you now, I think next day
    • The little folks would grieve.
    • There wouldn't be a single toy,
    • A single box or book,
    • And not a bit of candy in
    • Their stockings when they'd look
    • Because, you see, Kriss Kringle has
    • A "corner" on these things,
    • 'Tis he, and he alone, who in
    • The night our presents brings.
    • Then let us all try to avert
    • This sad catastrophe,
    • And hope Kriss Kringle may at least
    • Remember you and me. http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/christmas/poems-rhymes/a-catastrophe.html
