A Soldier Is A Gift

A Soldier Is A Gift

As we celebrate Christmas, and we open our gifts,
we realize what priceless gifts a soldier gives to our country
the gifts of patriotism, service, and deep dedication to our nation.

As we feast on a variety of fine Christmas delicacies,
we acknowledge that a soldier personifies a variety of fine qualities:
courage, good character, honor, fortitude amidst hardship,
persistence in subduing evil, and bravery in the face of danger.

A soldier is a cut above the rest of us,
doing jobs we could not or would not do.
While we are surrounded by Christmas comforts,
we remember soldiers in places we would not want to be,
bringing the gift of adaptability to any situation,
no matter how harsh or difficult.

As we "ooh" and "aah" over the Christmas lights and shiny ornaments
we recognize that a soldier gives us the most cherished gift of all,
the shining light of freedom.

At Christmas, let us wrap our hearts and minds
around our treasured soldiers.
May they understand how very much their service means to us.
Let us send the Christmas gifts of love, respect and admiration
to our steadfast, loyal, magnificent warriors
and their essential civilian support staff.

They themselves are the most precious Christmas gift of all,
our protectors—our soldiers.

Those Who Are Dear

Those Who Are Dear

The turkey's bought and will soon be stuffed,
The guest room's ready, the pillows fluffed.
The closet's full of holiday gifts,
The snow is here, piled up in drifts.

Our plans are made for the coming New Year,
Now it's time to contemplate those who are dear.
We're thinking of you and how special you are,
Next to your name, we've put a star.

“Why?” you ask; well here's a clue:
We feel so blessed that we know you.

Happy Holidays!

My Christmas Wish For You

That’s my wish for you for Christmas!

Holiday Feasting

Holiday Feasting

Holiday time is for feasting,
We look forward to each treat.
The tables are full of our favorite foods,
We’ve got lots of good things to eat.

We scarf marshmallowed sweet potatoes,
There’s cider and eggnog to slurp.
There’s so much going down at once,
Who can help an occasional burp?

Here’s the turkey, dressing and gravy,
Let’s all get down to chewing it,
And if we pass a little gas,
Who’ll notice? Everyone’s doing it.

Dessert is three kinds of pie,
Then pass the box of candy.
Next year will you please remind us
To have Alka-Seltzer handy!

Toy Escape

Toy Escape

Late Christmas Eve, when all was still,
And the room was dark as night,
The Christmas tree lit magically,
It was a fantastic sight!

Then from around the tree trunk came,
A strange and funny sound,
As gifts began to unwrap themselves,
And toys jumped out all around.

The music box began to play,
And in a crazy trance,
The candy canes jumped off the tree
To do a silly dance.

The big stuffed bear leaped to his feet,
To see what he could see,
He rode a shiny, bright red bike
Around the Christmas tree.

The new toy kitchen started to cook,
And before you could blink an eye,
The oven door opened, and from inside
Came a tiny pizza pie.

A squirt gun squirted everything,
It knew what it was for,
By the time that it was emptied out,
A big puddle lay on the floor.

A beautiful doll with golden hair
Was searching for a friend,
A toy soldier marched up and took her hand;
They were a perfect blend.

In the bedroom were a boy and girl,
Asleep in Christmas dreams,
The soldier saluted; the doll gave a kiss,
At least that's the way it seems.

Now everything began to tire,
The toys went back in place,
But when mother woke in the morning,
You should have seen her face.

The tree was fine; the gifts were there,
Yet mother gave a roar,
She looked at her wet shoes and yelled,
"What's this puddle on my floor?"

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We're wishing you a Christmas
Full of laughter, love and light,
With delicious holiday foods
To excite your appetite.

We're hoping you receive
Delightful gifts to make you smile,
With family and friends
To love you all the while.

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
May your Christmas dreams come true,
And when Christmas is over,
Happy New Year, too!

Christmas New Year Wish

Christmas New Year Wish

I made a Christmas wish for you,
For a holiday full of pleasure,
Friends and family all around,
And memories to treasure.

I wish for you a Christmas filled
With joyous holiday cheer,
I wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a very Happy New Year!

Be My Christmas Gift

Be My Christmas Gift

If you sat beneath the Christmas tree,
You’d sure add to the décor,
But even if you were gift wrapped, dear,
I couldn't love you more.

You have to know that if I had you,
I’d have the gift I’d most adore,
Better than any expensive gift
I could purchase in a store.

If you hug me tight, you wonderful thing,
And be my Christmas gift,
You’ll brighten my days forevermore
And give my heart a lift.

Christmas Love

Christmas Love

At Christmastime I think of all the gifts
That bring me great delight and sweet surprise,
But nothing in this world can bring such joy
As you do, when you look into my eyes.

And when I contemplate what Christmas means,
The caring and the giving--I confess,
You've given me the things I want the most,
Your love, your touch, your kiss, your warm caress.

The Christmas tree reminds me, with its lights
That just the thought of you sets me aglow,
You light me up from deep within my heart,
Because I cherish you, and love you so.

With you it's Christmas all the time, sweetheart.
I treasure every hour and every minute.
Your love is all I'll ever want because,
My life is so fulfilling with you in it.

For My Teacher At Christmas

For My Teacher At Christmas

Christmas vacation is great,
My time is mine to spend,
I can be with friends or watch TV,
I wish it would never end.

I don't miss school or homework,
I really like to be free,
But I'll miss you when I'm gone from school,
You're just what a teacher should be.

So have a perfect Christmas,
Be sure to have lots of fun,
I look forward to seeing you again,
When Christmas vacation is done.

The Christmas Gift of Knowing You

The Christmas Gift of Knowing You

The Christmas season fills our hearts with joy,
Bright, happy days bring special kinds of pleasure.
We're wrapped in the excitement of it all,
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes we treasure.

Yet when we have some quiet time to think
About our finest blessings all year through,
We focus on our family and our friends,
And appreciate the gift of knowing you!

Year-Round Joy

Year-Round Joy

Christmas is full of shiny things
That sparkle, gleam and glow,
These holiday pleasures dazzle us,
And yet, deep down, we know...

That Christmas has its special gifts,
But our year-round joy depends
On the cherished people in our lives,
Our family and our friends.

Family Joys

Family Joys

Christmas is filled with special joys,
And the very best of all
Is contemplating those dear to us,
And the memories we recall.

We often think at Christmas time
Of people, affectionately,
And we realize how blessed we are
To have you in our family.

(or, "To be in your family," or, "To be part of your family.")

A Sunny Christmas

A Sunny Christmas

Every year at Christmas time
There's not a sign of snow.
Instead we spend our yuletide days
In the sun's warm cheery glow.

We have the best of Christmas things,
The lights, the gifts, the bells,
(And "snowbirds" who arrive en masse
To fill our beach hotels.)

The glorious weather fits right in
With our happy Christmas mood,
And we can also walk and run
Without having to be snowshoed.

So don't feel bad for your (location) friends
Who have no snow or ice.
We think our sunny Christmas here
Is a holiday paradise!

Christmas Tree Poem

Christmas Tree Poem

Christmas tree, sparkling bright,
Filled with baubles, warmth and light,
Precious symbol of our affection
For Christmas time and its perfection,
Show each night your radiant glory
For "oohs" and "aahs" obligatory.

Christmas tree, don't let us down,
Show something special at your crown,
An angel, star, or splendid piece
To make our holiday joy increase,
An icon, pure, ideal, complete,
For Christmas memories fond and sweet.

Glitter and glisten, gleam and glow,
Oh Christmas tree, we love you so!

Christmas Magic

Christmas Magic

Are we too grownup to feel a thrill
As we light the Christmas tree?
Are we immune to cookies,
Christmas cards and Christmas glee?

Are we too adult to "Ooh" and "Aah"
At the Christmas candle's glow?
Are we blasé about our gifts,
Do we shun the mistletoe?

Are we too mature for carols,
For merry or for jolly?
Do the decorations leave us cold,
The ornaments and holly?

Fat chance! We'll never grow too old
To love the Christmas magic.
A year without a Christmas
Would be boring, even tragic.

So bring it on! The candy canes,
The feasting and good cheer,
O Christmas, lovely Christmas,
You're the highlight of the year!

Christmas Fun

Christmas Fun

The tempting gifts are tantalizing,
About opening them, we are fantasizing.
The holiday foods are appetizing,
Our excitement and joy are growing and rising,
Our hearts and minds are harmonizing,
Jolly Christmas fun we're maximizing!

Recipe for Christmas All Year Long

Recipe for Christmas All Year Long

Take a heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life
Each day a sweet surprise.

Mix in fond appreciation
For the people whom we know,
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.

Add some giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)

Stir it all with human kindness,
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.

If we use this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.
