Christmas is near,
it’s time to shine,
the people sing Christmas carols,
the kids fight with snowballs.
Make snowmen and have so much fun.
Everyone knows now that
Christmas is near.

The Unfortunate at Christmas Time

by Daisy Woods aged 10

You wake up on the first day of advent,
With an advent calendar downstairs.
They wake up on the streets,
Catching their deaths.

You decorate your house,
With lights, Christmas trees, and wreaths.
They don’t have houses,
Never mind Christmas trees.

You get Christmas Cards,
Religious or not,
Nobody talks to them,
It’s like they’re not even there.

You put mince pies and milk for Santa,
A carrot and a glass of water for the reindeer.
They probably don’t know who these are.
They are sitting there staring into the night sky.

You bounce out of bed on Christmas Day,
To a pile of presents,
They wake up,
It’s just another day of depression.

You have a lovely Christmas dinner,
Turkey, with all of the trimmings.
They get whatever crumbs they find.

Christmas Day

The everlasting days, the dreary nights,
the big yellow star’s light,
Jesus is born to forgive and you to mourn at his death,
Sins he forgave
Us did he save,
Blessed are us to have him,
Died on the cross,
A terrible loss,
Our saviour Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ spells love.

He gave me eyes so I can see the wonders of the world.

Away in a manger no crib for a bed.

WW2

It was the night of Christmas Eve, the war stopped.
They all played football.
No one knew why but war was stopped.
1945 came then they knew.
It was because it was the night of peace
It was the night of Christmas Eve when the war stopped

Santa Are You There?

by Hanshika Mandal aged 10

I may hear the sleigh bells ring but I can’t see Santa.
I can hear the magic reindeer click but I can’t see Santa.
I can see the empty cup of sherry and half eaten mince pie but I just can’t see Santa.
Oh m,y dear Santa all the children are scared they cannot see any present anywhere.
The Christmas tree stands idle, guarding no presents at all
Santa are you there for once and for all?

Christmas Prank
Making a cake,
It’s out of yellow sponge,
Putting pink icing all over,
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY,
Covering it in sprinkles,
Getting my sister,
YUCKYYY,
HAHAHA,
She’ll get me back

‘Twas the Night of Christmas

‘Twas the night of Christmas as the fire was crackling,
All of the family were happily laughing.
The Christmas carollers were at the door,
Coming to sing to the poor.

The Christmas tree lights were twinkling,
It was so bright my eyes were blinking.
The stockings were hung by the fire place,
As the baby’s new toy was pushed to a high pace.

The leftover turkey was set to the side,
all of its hot heat had died.
As the little children were cooing,
I wondered what Santa Claus was doing.

The Christmas Gift

by Fathima Muneer aged 14

Lifeless like a pole I sat
In the far end from the hustle of Christmas
Melted snow freezing my bones
Icicles dripping on my head.

I see smiles all around me
Everyone walks perfume scented
Fresh and clean
And I sit
Rotten and rust.

Christmas is about happiness, they say
But all I get is ignored looks
Not a smile comes to my wrinkled face
Not a single tear of joy.

Christmas is about togetherness
But I am all alone
In the middle of a buzzing city
Far away from ‘home’.

My only companion is God
For God knows.
How much I’ve gone through,
The shrouding pain I’ve been in.

My faith in God is my only HOPE,
I know I will not live long
But I know I will die with a smile
I know God will bless me after death.

Whenever I see others
I remember my carefree days
Decades ago. an unimaginable life,
But I know God is smiling at my patience.

I know I will have to suffer
But I will spare a smile
Every Christmas people wait for gifts
And this year I hope God takes me away soon
An end to my hardships
And enter the place I’ve longed to see
The gift called HEAVEN.
