Christmas Poems, Rhymes and Songs


Old Toy Trains
Old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little boy toys coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you were in bed?


Close your eyes,
Listen to the skies,
All is calm,
All is well,
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and his jingle bells bringing...




Santa
Two merry blue eyes
A very little nose
A long snowy beard
And cheeks like a rose
A round chubby man
A big bulging pack
Hurrah for Old Santa
We're glad he's come back!

Little Pine Tree
In summertime my branches were a place for birds to nest,
In autumn my branches were their place for food and rest,
And now that wintertime is here, I hope to be all glistening
bright with snowflakes...
The little birds' Christmas tree!

Christmas Wreaths
Our Christmas wreaths are fat and round,
Made of the woodsy things we found.
We tied brown cones upon the green,
And stuck red berries in between.
Upon the wreath on our front door,
We tied red ribbon from the store.

A Christmas Tree
One little star on the top of the tree,
Two little presents underneath for me,
Three silver ropes twisted around the tree,
Four colored lights shining prettily,
Five shining balls flowing silvery.
Oh, what a sight for use to see!

I've Been Waiting For Christmas
I've been waiting for Christmas,
And it's almost here.
I've been waiting for Christmas,
Santa's getting near.
Can't you hear the sleigh bells ringing?
Reindeer up so high.
Can't you hear the children singing,
As they watch the sky?

Reindeer Hokey Pokey
You put your antlers in, You put your antlers out,
You put your antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer pokey and you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about!
-You put your hooves in
-You put your red nose ins
-You put your fluffy tail in
-You put your reindeer body in


Here's A Little Candle
(I'm a Little Teapot)
Here's a little candle dressed in white,
Wearing a hat of yellow light,
When the night is dark, then you will see,
Just how bright this light can be.
 

We'll Decorate the Tree
(Farmer in the Dell)
We'll decorate the tree, We'll decorate the tree,
Heigh-ho, it's Christmastime, We'll decorate the tree!
-The presents we will wrap...
-Carols we will sing...
-We'll bake lots of cookies...
-We'll all wait for Santa

There Was A Man
(BINGO)
There was a man in a big red suit and Santa was his name-o
S A N T A (3x)
And Santa was his name-o!


Christmas Tree Story
Deep down in the forest when trees grew so tall,
Stood one little fellow, the smallest of all.
The trees waved their branches and rustled their leaves,
But the smallest of all just stood stiff in the breeze.
When Winter winds howled, The trees were afraid,
And dropped their leaves, Till there was no more shade.
The smallest of all just stood brave and tall,
And kept his green coat when snow started to fall.
One day laughing children came pulling a sleigh,
They cut on him gently and pulled him away.
They dressed him in tinsel and bright shiny balls,
In peppermint canes, tiny angels, and dolls.
And on Christmas morning 'twas easy to see---
The smallest of all was the loveliest tree!
