Winning Poem
All we get is carrots.
He gets the mince pies.
We pull the pointless sleigh.
He rules the skies.
I get bullied about my red nose.
He fills space with his HO HO HOs.
We catch hypothermia standing on the ice
He drinks the wine (against our advice)
But really Santa’s not that bad
In his world no-one’s sad.
The reason why they’re full of joys
Is he gives them hundreds of toys.
He’s full of frolics and fiddle-dee-dees
While we’re scratchy and grumpy and covered in fleas.
Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho
Not many sleeps to go
There’s so much I have to do
Before I bring some gifts to you
So as you put up your Christmas tree
Remember all the elves and me
One day an elf will write to you
Explaining all the things we do
So don’t forget to check each day
To see which elf will come your way
They have so many tales to tell
So make sure you listen well
I am going to come your way
As long as you behave each day
So can you see what life is like
Preparing for this special night
Winning Poem
Christingles sweet and sour
Happy homes with laughter
Rudolf the red nosed reindeer
Ice and snow covering the road
Secret presents in a drawer
Tickly tinsel round the sparkling tree
Merry Father Christmas flying through the night sky
A delicious roast turkey crown
Stockings stuffed with surprises
Christmas time has come,
Everyone has now won.
Lovely food here and there,
Though everyone needs to share.
Lots of presents under the tree,
and high socks above your knee.
Christmas time is to love,
with snow white doves flying above.
He’s a big cool dude who’s all dressed in red,
He delivers presents whilst you’re sleeping in bed,
Then he jumps onto his awesome sled,
He’s quiet as a Ninja so you’ll never hear him coming,
While he’s doing his job he’s always happily humming
These sparkly balls hang from the tree,
They fill your heart with joy and glee,
Only one person knows what power they hold,
But the magic would be gone if he ever told,
The person who knows, his name is Bob,
But never ask him about his magical job
‘Twas the night before Christmas…
Not a noise to be heard, not even the sound of singing birds.
The trees were waving their arms in the air and everyone asleep
gleaming with care and excitement like shaking hands with the mayor.
But then a noise came from the roof
BANG!
It could be burglars trying to take my things
and then fly off with a pair of old wings.
So I went up to my window, not daring to look
as if there would be a cute little duck.
I opened my window, my hands were shaking,
my head was sweating and my ears ringing.
As I look to see what was there
it was Santa Claus with his white gleaming hair
but then he was gone.
I ran down stairs to see if he was there
I saw a glimpse of red with spots of black from the suit and ash.
It was Santa Claus what an amazing sight
with his red coat and trousers that looked just a little bit tight.
He dropped his sack and, oh yes, it’s a kite
just what I wanted for that Christmas.
As Santa went off he sang happy Christmas to all
and to all a good night
and hopefully he’ll come next year I don’t know…
He just might.
The tree stands there long and lean
You would gasp if ever to be seen.
Shine shine as you like
Radiant blast way up high.
Ornaments glisten luminously
As my eyes get puzzled confusingly.
Zig zag around the tree
The lights shine amazingly.
Under, the presents stand impatiently
I just want to see them eagerly.
Christmas bells, you ring and ting
plus you make me sing
I love
how you
glimmer and
shimmer also you
are made out
of gold
plus the soul of the key
from the
ring and sing
I love
the smell
and the love of the bells
that
keeps our family
together
Children dressed up in their hats,
Snowballs flying then going splat!
Stockings on the end of the bed,
Santa watching where to tread.
Presents under the twinkling tree,
What’s in there? – we’ll see!
Children waking Christmas morning,
Opening presents, tired and yawning.
So excited, can’t wait for lunch,
They it’ll be yummy – just a hunch.
Seeing family and friends,
The fun never ends!
