Competition Entry

No breath of wind no gleam of sun
still the white snow whirls softly down,
Twig and bough and blade and thorn
all in an icy quiet form,
whispering, rustling through the air
on still and stone roof everywhere
It heaps its powdery flakes on every tree
a mountain makes
‘Til pale and fate at shut of day
stoops from the West one wintery ray
Feathered in fire where ghosts the moon
a robin shrills its lonely tune.

Sleigh bells ring,
the moon illuminates the sky and glows.
The air is filled with joy and happiness,
everywhere someone goes.

No matter if it’s a town or village,
no matter if it’s a city or street.
Christmas is everywhere,
for everybody to meet.

Christmas can be spread
in many different ways.
Sometimes it can even be spread,
when it isn’t Christmas days.

Sometimes you have to spread Christmas,
perhaps by trying something new.
Sometimes if you spread Christmas,
all your Christmas wishes will come true.

Remember Christmas is about spreading cheer,
and is not about what you get.
Christmas is about helping people,
people you know or haven’t even met.

So spread the joy,
by putting a smile on somebody’s face.
Spread the joy,
no matter where you are or the place.

Am! Nam! Nam!
Eating cookies, drinking milk
Distributing gifts while sitting on a sleigh,
And guiding the reindeers swiftly,
Decorating Christmas trees,
With ornaments and hanging stockings,
Sitting cosily by the fire,
And drinking hot chocolate,
Eating lots of candy with our families,
Wearing a scarf and building a snowman,
That’s what Christmas is about!
Do you know what it is?
The festival is Christmas!

World War 1, the battlefield burns,
yet songs of joy were sung.
We will remember that one Christmas day,
and how it all begun.

Maybe a little ray of Christmas hope was shining,
or soldiers felt the true Christmas joy.
Maybe they thought about their countries,
and thought about each and every girl and boy.

They knew they needed a break,
to all sing a Christmas song.
They needed to rejoice again,
because they hadn’t felt safe for so long.

So they all sang together,
through sadness and through pain.
They still sang together,
knowing they weren’t going to see each other again.

So here, very long after,
it’s a place we remember their name.
The battlefield looks very different,
and is not at all the same.

And now we sing,
to remember what happened that December day.
When they laughed and rejoiced,
even when the skies were grey.

The touching winter tale’s
At long last come to my place.
The snow is everywhere,
I don’t want to avoid the nice snare.

In the morning – icy mood,
In the afternoon – being crude
Stepping on the big dropped bunch…
Do you hear that snow crunch?

In the evening – the bling blings
Covering my playground.
Please, don’t touch those things
Don’t be so frowned.

You will enjoy that beauty.
Try to memorize
Don’t be so much moody
And my winter gives to you the prize.

You’ll see how much your imagination
Can be amazed at night.
You’ll see the millions of shining stars
Twinkles, shimmers. They stun!
They will be glistening brightly
Like drops of water in the sun.

In winter’s chill, the world aglow,
With twinkling lights and soft, white snow.
The air is filled with joy and cheer,
As Christmas time draws ever near.

The hearth is warm, the tree stands tall,
With ornaments that shine for all.
Families gather, hearts entwined,
In love and laughter, peace we find.

The carols ring through silent nights,
As stars above shine oh so bright.
With every gift and every prayer,
We share the magic, love to spare.

So let us cherish, hand in hand,
The spirit of this wondrous land.
For Christmas brings, beyond compare,
A time of hope, a time to care.

On Christmas eve, so calm and bright
We share our love on this special night
The world is glowing, soft and clear
To spend both joy and cheer

May it be chocolate or just our hug
Our heart feels so snug
We laugh on every song
It’s the season to be bright and strong

The joy of sharing, pure and true,
Is felt by all, in me and you.
An easy act, by a kind word said
Can warm a heart just like the gifts we’ve spread

So this Christmas let’s spread our light
With love and joy, shining bright
For Christmas joy is found when we
Share what we have, for all to see.

Christmas time is here,
So let’s sing a song of cheer.
Putting the star on the Christmas tree
With the family,
No despair here or anywhere.

Christmas Day always finds its way.
Oh, what a sight: a family with savoury delights!

Under the blanket of the starry night,
Where the lambent lights glow
A fox, coated in white fur, stares into sight;
Wondering if it will snow.

Christmas time has hit the moors
Where the nights whistle like a train
And as carols linger all in the air
Christmas in the village feels tender and rare.

But as the night is cold, and the houses are warm
With all the little children tucked in bed, lost in sleep,
The fox stays up.
Where, at the crack of dawn
Dew will sprinkle like glitter on the lawn.

Santa checks how much he weighs,
Before he gets on his sleigh,
While I do essays,
and wait for Santa for days.

Everyone knows Rudolph the reindeer,
His nose is a big, red sphere.
The reindeer can go up to the atmosphere.
Did you know they live in the northern hemisphere?

What I want for my Christmas gift,
is a toy car that can drift.
I also want something that can lift,
like a big, heavy forklift.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year,
from gifts to elves to reindeers.
So go grab water or beer
and relax and chill on the pier.
