A Christmas Wish

I wrote a letter to Santa, with wishes so grand,
For a bike with a bell, and a sandcastle in hand.
I asked for a puppy, and a book filled with rhymes,
And a magical sleigh ride, to escape winter's times.

I tucked it in my stocking, with care and with love,
And sent it up the chimney, to the North Star above.
Now I wait with anticipation, for Christmas Day's delight,
Hoping Santa will grant me, all my wishes this night.

The Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree is so tall, with branches so wide,
We hung ornaments on it, with joy and with pride.
Sparkling stars and candy canes, and baubles so bright,
The tree gleams with magic, in the soft candlelight.

We sing carols around it, with voices so sweet,
And share stories of Christmas, with family we meet.
The Christmas tree is a symbol, of love and of cheer,
Bringing warmth and happiness, throughout the whole year.

Santa's Helpers

Santa's helpers are busy, in their workshop so grand,
Making toys for good children, all across the land.
They build wooden trains and plush teddy bears,
And pack them in sacks, with the utmost of cares.

They load up the sleigh, with presents so bright,
And prepare for their journey, through the snowy night.
Santa's helpers are jolly, with smiles on their face,
Spreading Christmas cheer, in every time and place.

The Gift of Christmas

The gift of Christmas is love, and kindness so true,
Sharing joy with each other, in all that we do.
It's the warmth of a hug, and a smile on a face,
The magic of giving, and the spirit of grace.

So let's spread the cheer, this Christmas so bright,
And fill our hearts with love, and make everything right.
