Of a peppermint stick
And oh it tasted yummy!

But now it’s in my tummy!

Little Pine Tree

As you can see,
All the other pine trees
Are bigger than me.
Maybe when I grow up
Then I’ll be
A great big merry Christmas tree!

A Christmas Angel

It would be a wonderful poem for a group of five children to recite at a Christmas concert, either at school or elsewhere.

Have the group of five kids recite lines 1, 7, 8, and 9 of the poem in unison. Also, have each child recite one line on a solo basis (for the remaining lines – lines 2 to 6).

Five Little Reindeer

Author Unknown

Five little reindeer playing in the snow
The first one said, “Can you see my nose glow?”
The second one said, “Listen to me sing!”
The third one said, “I can hear the bells ring.”
The fourth one said, “Let’s eat the pie!”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready to fly.”
Then clomp went their hooves
And the snow fell white
As the five little reindeer flew out of sight.

This next Christmas poem for kids reminds us how much fun the holiday season is!

Christmas is a Day Full of Joy

Ask any girl or boy.

By the twinkling stars in the sky.

Children love a snowball fight,
Although its freezing day and night.
