Christmas Poems

When Santa Claus Comes

A good time is coming, I wish it were here,

The very best time in the whole of the year;

I'm counting each day on my fingers and thumbs --

the weeks that must pass before Santa Claus comes.

Then when the first snowflakes begin to come down,

And the wind whistles sharp and the branches are brown,

I'll not mind the cold, though my fingers it numbs,

For it brings the time nearer when Santa Claus comes.

Because You've Been So Very Good

Contributed by Jocee Vreeland

With a bright twinkle in his eye
And a sack full of toys
He and his reindeer fly
To visit all good girls and boys


Around the shiny golden moon
And over all the homes
He'll be arriving soon
Spreading joy wherever he roams


So snuggle yourself into bed
And pray before you sleep
For soon he'll stop his sled
And into your room he will peep


If you've been kind the whole year through
IF you've done what you should
Gifts he will leave for you
Because you've been so very good
