Christmas Poems and Quotes
”I heard the bells on Christmas Day
their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet the words repeat
of peace on earth, good-will to men!” Longfellow
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path may lead to peace. Agnes M. Pharo
"He who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree." Sunshine Magazine
"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." Charles Dickens
If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away. author unknown
Blessed is the season, which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mable
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. Shakespeare
For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
Peace was the first thing the angels sang. Peace is the mark of the sons of God. Peace is the nurse of love. Peace is the mother of unity. Peace is the rest of blessed souls. Peace is the dwelling place of eternity. Leo the Great
I pray that you would find the true Prince of Peace this season that you would accept the free gift God is extending to you, His Son as your personal Savior. He alone can give you peace this season, and all your life. author unknown
May God bless you, and keep you, and make His face to shine up on you. author unknown
Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind. Mary Ellen Chase
We censure the folk of bygone time
for indifference to Mary's plight.
How many would do any better now?
Would you follow the star tonight? Helen E. Middleton
"Christmas! 'Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial fire of charity in the heart." Washington Irving
How many would follow the star tonight, if it shone past the Milky Way,
Leave comfortable homes and follow it still over the hills and away?
How many would open their doors tonight for a weary and shabby pair,
Make room at hearts for a Stranger-Child though the Infant is wondrous fair?
How many would give of their goods tonight, the best they possess and more,
for their faith in a star and an angel choir and a King forevermore? author unknown
I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God bless Christmas! Charles Dickens
"Underneath the tinsel and toys, the glitter and gaiety, the feasting and festivity, the real essence of Christmas is sharing - sharing the story of the Holy Babe of Bethlehem who came to bring light to the world, and sharing of ourselves and what we have with others." Esther Baldwin York
"For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you." John Greenleaf Whittier
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Reindeer Food
(This is a fun activity as well as a poem. Make some reindeer food with oatmeal and glitter and then go outside with your child on Christmas Eve and help to spread it on the ground for the reindeer)
My oh my! We do declare
Here is special reindeer food
To sprinkle through the air!
The oatmeal is for energy.
The sparkles are for flight.
So sprinkle the reindeer food
On Christmas Eve night!
All of Santa's reindeer will
Love this healthy snack
And next year Santa and his
Reindeers surely will be back!!!! author unknown
Candy Cane Story
The Christmas Candy Cane was first made by a Candy Maker in Indiana. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God.
The Candy Maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.
Next the Candy Maker stained it with red stripes. He used small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
Sadly, the candy became a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear".
Candy Cane Poem
Jesus Gentle Shepherd, this cane of red and white
proclaims the sweet love story born on Christmas night.
This cane, you see, when turned around begins your name of Love
and now becomes a symbol of peace proclaimed above.
The lively peppermint flavor is the regal gift of spice.
The white is your purity and the red your sacrifice.
And so this cane reminds us of just how much you care
and like your Christmas Gift to us it's meant for all to share. author unknown
"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!" Charles Dickens
"The only real blind person at Christmas time is he who has not Christmas in his heart." Helen Keller
F.....is for the Fur trim round his big black boots and hat
A.....is for his Apple cheeks, so cuddly, round and fat!
T.....is for the Toys he brings, and
H.....his Happy smile!
E.....is for his Eyes, so bright, and
R.....each Reindeer mile!
C.....is for the Chimney stack, and
H.....the Hearth below.
R.....for his Red cloak and hood, and
I.....the Ice and snow!
S.....is for the Stockings,
T.....is for the Tree - and
M.....is for the Mistletoe, which we all love to see!
A.....is for the Angels, who on Christmas cards appear - and

Chanukah Quotes and Traditions
Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees
and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Every year between the end of November and the end of December, Jewish people around the world celebrate the holiday of Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, but the starting date on the western calendar varies from year to year. The holiday celebrates the events which took place over 2,300 years ago in the land of Judea, which is now Israel.
"Come here, I will show you a new way to the Creator: Not through speech, but through song! Let us sing and Heaven will understand us." Rabbi Nahman of Braslav, 1772-1811
Praised are You, Our God, Ruler of the universe, Who made us holy through your commandments and commanded us to kindle the Hanukah lights. author unknown
