A Christmas Cracker

A Christmas cracker is a magical cracker
BANG went the cracker as they pulled it
CRACK went the cracker as they pulled it

They looked inside and they couldn’t believe there eyes.
There was no hat,
there was no big cat,
there was just jokes,
and a toy squishy that loves pokes
And here was all the jokes:
What do snowmen wear on there heads? *
Which reindeer is the most rude? **

The kids were upset
and their jumpers were very wet,
they didn’t want the crackers to be kept!

A Christmas cracker is a magical cracker
BANG went the cracker as they pulled it
CRACK went the cracker as they pulled it

Have a magical Christmas

* Ice caps
** Rudolph

Wish List

by Iona Mandal aged 11

I woke up from late afternoon slumber
Caught you, hands curled in action
Back arched against the Christmas tree
Eyes gleaming towards the waning December sun

You clutched a Yankee candle that sat still
The leftover wax arresting it
To the prison of the windowsill
From the last time we had a candlelit dinner

I smiled faintly as I heard you
Pray out loud, to St. Nicholas
It was the first and maybe the last time
I’d see you like a child

Eyes locked intensely in slits
You looked concerned
I listened to your mantra
You asked for a long and deep glass jar

You wanted it brimming with honey
To smoothen the rough edges
Of the bumpy road
That lay ahead of us

As you walked upstairs to your room
To lay down, still and silent than ever
I went to bed thinking about honey
And woke up
A queer taste of salted caramel in my mouth.

At Christmas everybody puts pollys on
The window is that a surprise
Everybody likes to be jolly
I love Christmas

The Christ Child

I roamed the world in rags
Knocking on people’s houses
Hoping they would offer me shelter
And food
A place to share their Christmas
I hoped the spirit
Would make them more generous
I entered mansions
And grand houses
Decorated beautifully
When I knocked
They simply frowned
And drove me out
They try to hide
By beautiful ornaments, trees, and rich gifts
I wandered far and wide
Looking for anyone to aid me
When finally I stumbled upon
A small and humble house
No expensive decorations
Just a plain simple tree
With a warm fire glowing
Blazing in the hearth
With warmth and friendliness
They invited me
Treated me as I were lord
I smiled
And gave them a marvellous sight,
No words convey its beauty
And unless you can picture the beauty of kindness
No poet can describe the sight
Which was denied to others
For an act kindness
Shines more than gold

Christmas Blessing

We grin and laugh
Happily, on Christmas Eve
Exchanging presents
Tokens of love
Being passed around
In the smallest manner
From the smallest rose
Even the Almighty King
Expresses his love
Not by gifts bought with gold
Not with beauty, pride and gifts
But by giving us capacity to learn
The ability to love
Showing us share and care
So let us embrace what we have
And respect what others are
For we are alike, no matter how different
Black or white
Short or tall
All share a common ground
For we all are the beloved creations
Of the Almighty
And let us embrace
The Christmas blessing

The floor was white and freezing cold
The blizzard had come and started bold
It moved in from “The North”
and decided to go forth!

St Nick was free in November
His part came in December
He was the one who brought the joy
a little gift for girl and boy!

The trick to have a cosy season
Is to understand the real reason
So here I sit right now with my
hot chocolate and warm mince pie!

Christmas is fun but not always
Some people cry or moan because they don’t get presents
All of us like Christmas
All we need for Christmas is friends and family.
We are so grateful, thank you to Jesus and God.
Some people at this minute have been dumped on the floor to starve
So now you listen to my poem, please help people get off the streets
and invite them to your Christmas dinner
We could end up homeless one day

Christmas is Here

Christmas is here,
We’re all full of cheer,
Jesus is born,
Christmas tops are being worn,
No matter where you go,
There is always a little bit of snow,
Get ready for rocking around the
Christmas tree,
Make sure you leave Santa
A big bottle of Fanta.
Have a very merry Christmas.

Christmas Letters

When you receive a Christmas letter,
You fill with hope and glee,
You jump around and spin about
The lit up Christmas tree,
You open it filled with magic that is Christmassy.
