Then Dad and I both set it up, And the family starts to trim And tinsel, bright and thin. We hate to take it down, * Because it’s turning brown. And there it lies in our back yard, A bare and lonely sight, Yet serving as a memory Of a season gay and bright. Christmas Day hristmas is here ‘A happy time of year, ve the Merry Christmas Mass, hate to see the holiday end. Gate of Heaven Are bright and glistening Christmas trees That spread the Christmas glow.

Inside the house it’s warm and nice, Out on the ground is snow and ice. The candy, the nuts, the oranges, too And all of the toys that are still brand new. But the part I like the best of all Is when the needles start to fall. My brother and I take out the tree Into the yard where all can see. To make sure that even the birds are fed For it wouldn’t be fair for me to be The only one with a Christmas tree. by Susan Nalbore 5 Noxen Elementary Christmas Christmas lights are hanging high, Children inside give a sigh. Christmas trees reach the sky, As Santa and his reindeer go by.

Joseph is His father’s name, We should love Him just the same. An angel lurked over Jesus’ head, While he lay in His little bed. A star from heaven showed the wisemen’s way, To Jesus, on Christmas day. So now, you know what Christmas is for, It’s for Jesus, whom you should adore. by Robert Pomicter 6 Lake Elementary A Christmas Poem Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem, But found there was no room in the inn, They had to stay in a stable of hay, To protect them from the cold of the day, It was here the Christ Child chose to lay, With Mary and Joseph to guide Him all the way. by Joan Dillon Gate of Heaven Merry Christmas To One And To All Christmas Day Christmas is happy, Christmas is gay, Oh, how I wish Christmas, Would come every day.

I will give him my heart. by William Cole 5-A Lehman Elementary S’No Fun The snow came down on Christmas night; Crisp, crunchy, and fluffy white. It started snowing at half past seven, And was still going strong at twelve past eleven. It came down faster and faster still Until it came up to the window sill. It must have snowed all through the night, For with the dawn there was no light. The windows were covered up to the top, Before the snow decided to stop. I reached for the shovel and started to go: But the hardness of concrete was possessed by that snow. I shoveled and shoveled and shoveled all day, But after three hours wore the shovel away. Christmas Time Christ is our heavenly king; He was born on Christmas day, And when born, in a manger he lay; Shepherds, kings, and people came, To adore the little king; They gave him silver, gold, and ore, What we think the most precious thing; But what the little baby wanted, Was love from everything. by Kathleen Barr 5-206 Gate of Heaven Ne Christmas Christmas is a time of joy For every single girl and boy With Christmas presents ‘neath the tree With some for you and some for me, Christmas is a time of cheer When we visit those that we hold dear, When we visit the little bed Where little Jesus lay down His sweet head. by Kathleen Marz 5-207 Gate of Heaven Sins Adie 2 When Jesus Was Born Jesus was born on Christmas day In a manger filled with hay The Wise Men came and brought gifts The Angels sang for the sky to lift.

But then with my luck, you guessed it, friend, The snow started coming down again. So here I am stuck in the Snow, With no one to help me and nowhere to go. I bought all the shovels that there were in town, So I guess I'll give up and let it come down. by James Williams 10-6 Dallas Senior High A Wonderful Night As shepherds watched their flocks one night A shiny star was seen. They wondered as it grew so bright What did this big star mean? They followed it until they met An angel dressed in white The angel told them of a babe That had been born that night. They journeyed on to Bethlehem And this is what they saw, A barn with animals in a pen, And a manger filled with straw. In the manger was the child Sent from Heaven above, Then the little baby smiled, To show us of God’s love. by Victoria Stefanowicz 6 Lake Elementary About Christmas Looking on the soft white ground Children gather all around, Eyes so bright and faces merry, Tommy'’s face is like a cherry. I'hope I get an Indian doll, I don’t care if that is all ; Don’t you think that Christmas is fun? I'm so happy for every one, I wish the children in other places Could have shining merry faces; I want to send something, too, For boys and girls like me and you. by Dawn Mulligan 6 Noxen Eelementary oo 3 SR a Es on
