Christmas Poems for Kids

Christmas and kids are just inseparable! Indeed Christmas is that time of the year for which little ones wait with great anticipation. For a kid, Christmas is the time not only for Santa's gifts and goodies but also delicious cakes and yummy chocolates along with multiple exciting events and activities. It is that special season when all their dreams turn real and life just seems the way they read about it in fairy tales. However, it is equally important to make a kid aware of the real meaning of 'Christmas' and the best way to do that is through a Kid's Christmas poem. Christmas poems for kids are, in fact, the perfect means of instructing a child in the traditions of the Christian Faith

and letting him/her know in a simplified manner, their significance.

Mentioned below are some of the most popular Christmas poems for kids whose meanings the minors can easily grasp through their childish understanding capacities. And be sure that they will have great fun reading them! THE CHRISTMAS CHILD
LITTLE one, who straight hast come
Down the heavenly stair,
Tell us all about your home,
And the father there."

"He is such a one as I
Like as like can be.
Do his will, and, by and by,
Home and him you'll see."
-By George Macdonald

"MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB"
THE Blessed Mary had a lamb,
It too was white as snow,
Far whiter than I ever am--
Always and always so.

She found it lying in the stall
Wherefrom the oxen fed,
With hay for bedding, hay for shawl,
And hay beneath its head.

She followed near it every day
In all the paths it trod,
She knew her lamb could never stray
(It was the Lamb of God).

And when the cloud of angels came
And hid It from her sight,
Its heart was near her all the same
Because her own was white.

So when she slept white lilies screened
Her sleep from all alarms,
Till from His Throne her white lamb leaned
And waked her in His Arms.
-By M. Nightingale


A CHRISTMAS CAROL
THAT sweeter music can we bring
Than a carol, for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly King?
Awake the voice; awake the string!
Heart, ear, and eye, and everything!

Why does the chilling winter's morn
Smile, like a field beset with corn?
Or smell, like to a mead new-shorn,
Thus, on the sudden?

Come and see
The cause, why things thus fragrant be.
'Tis He is born, whose quickening birth
Gives light and lustre, public mirth,
To heaven, and the under-earth.

The darling of the world is come,
And fit it is we find a room
To welcome Him. The nobler part
Of all the house here, is the heart,
Which we will give Him; and bequeath
This holly, and this ivy wreath,
To do Him honour; who's our King,
And Lord of all this revelling.
-By Robert Herrick
