Poems for your Christmas Cards

Christmas Poems for Your Cards

Regular visitors to this blog will know that since the first of December I have been creating a Christmas Poem everyday for you up until Christmas Day. Today I want to share with you a Christmas Poem that you could write in a Christmas Card and give to your beautiful mum. It’s always nice to add that personal touch, it is so much more precious and meaningful. So today’s little poem is short enough to go into your Mum’s Christmas Card. I made this poem especially for my own Mum’s Christmas Card, which I also designed too. I hope you like it and please feel free to use it in your Christmas Card for your lovely mum this Christmas and I am also very happy for you to share this with others. Lots of love Clarabelle.

Happy Christmas Mum

Christmas red berries

bring much love to you.

Because you are special

the whole year through.

Much love to you Mum

on this Christmas Day

I love you forever

forever and a day.

Happy Christmas

Christmastime

A very warm and cosy welcome to Day 7 of my Christmas Poems leading up to Christmas Day.

Mince Pie at Christmas

I LOVE a wee mince pie at Christmas, funny thing is, when I was a child I never really liked them at all but now I really do. I could go a Christmas mince pie, right now. 🙂 Enjoy the scrumptious festive food this Christmastime and please don’t worry about overindulging, because it’s not what you eat in between Christmas and New Year that matters, it’s what you eat between New Year and Christmas. Yummy, Yummy!!

A Christmas Mince Pie, Clarabelle enjoyed earlier!!

A Mince Pie at Christmas

A mince pie at Christmas,
Is scrumptious and yummy.
I love this little treat,
and so does my tummy.

You can have it hot,
or fresh and cool.
Whatever way you like it,
it will make your mouth drool.

So grab a cuppa coffee,
sit down and relax,
Enjoy a Christmas mince pie,
fill your taste buds to the max!!

Christmas Welcome

A very warm Christmas welcome to Day 6 of my Christmas poems leading up to Christmas Day. I do hope you like the next one, it may make you think about the precious love that surrounds you at Christmastime, embrace it with open arms because you are very blessed indeed.

On Christmas Morn

She looked out of the window,
on Christmas Day.
She remembered her past,
a time to pray.

For now she is older,
she is eighty three,
and sits alone,
there’s no “you and me”.

She had a love,
a husband that cared,
They loved Christmas,
everything was shared.

But he passed away,
10 years ago.
She remembers his smile,
and them dancing in the snow.

She isn’t sad,
she doesn’t feel lonely.
She is grateful for this life,
and her one and only.

She misses him much,
he’s always in her thoughts,
On Christmas morn,
He’d say “I love you lots”.

She awaits her carriage,
her wonderful son.
Who is so special,
he looks after his mum.

Today she is part of,
a family filled with joy.
With 4 happy grandchildren,
3 girls and a boy.

She loves them dearly,
they are her life.
A special Gran, a loving mother,
and in her heart a happy wife.

She tells them stories,
of times gone by.
She laughs with her grandchildren,
and enjoys a mince pie.

She feels amazing,
so precious and true,
To my hubby in heaven,
I will always love you.

Christmas Poetry: Go Santa Go

Christmas Poetry, Day 5

A warm festive welcome to Day 5 of my Christmas poetry. Everyday between now and Christmas Day I will share with you a happy Christmas poem. I hope you enjoy today’s Christmas poem, called “Go Santa Go”.

Go Santa Go

Go Santa go,
Ride through the snow.
Come to my house,
Be as quiet as a mouse.

Go Santa go,
Let Rudolph glow.
His nose so bright.
A happy guiding light.

Go Santa go,
I love you, you know.
In your cosy red suit,
Coming down the chimney shoot.

Go Santa go,
Singing ho, ho, ho.
You are magic all around,
Snowy footprints on the ground.

Go Santa go,
I’ve left you 3 in a row.
Milk, carrots and a warm mince pie.
See you next year Santa, with love, goodbye.

Christmas Poetry, Day 4

A very warm Christmas welcome to Day 4 of my Christmas poems leading up to Christmas Day. Enjoy my beautiful friends and stay magical no matter what time of the year.

The Magic of Christmas

A sprinkle of fairy dust,
a twinkle in the eye.
A warm hello,
from the last goodbye.

A happy heart,
a Christmas smile.
The Magic of Christmas,
Goes on for a while.

A special time,
with loved ones to share,
Feelings of joy,
and love everywhere.

A time for giving,
and knowing what’s true,
The Magic of Christmas,
lives in me and you.

Oh Mr Snowman

Festive Spirit

I seem to be getting into the festive spirit already and accordingly to the recent UK weather forecast there will be plenty of opportunity over the next few months to make as many snowmen as we want. I hope you like this Family Christmas Poem below, it is from my latest eBook, “It’s All About Christmas”. Sending you some early Christmas love, Clarabelle

Oh Mr Snowman

Don’t believe a snowman,
Has no heart inside.
Because he was built,
By a child with pride.

He was a dream,
A vision of fun.
He brought the family together,
And lives in everyone.

Oh Mr Snowman,
You stand still, with a smile.
I could look at you forever,
Come walk with me for a mile.

Oh how I wish,
That could be true.
We’d be dancing and laughing,
Yes, snowballs fight too.

So when the snow comes,
In the big icy freeze.
Your snowman’s heart, lives in you,
Remember this please.

On Christmas Day

For some reason I have been getting into the Christmas spirit and it’s only October, that’s really really early for me. So I’m planning ahead to Christmas day and created this Christmas Day poem just for you. Have a beautifully blessed Christmas. Love Clarabelle

On Christmas Day

Snowstars fall, on Christmas Day,

Twinkling Angels, guide the way.

Mr Robin, joins the choir,

Chocolate hearts, melt with desire.

Family cuddles, and present giving,

Special moments, happy living.

Warm and cozy, life is bliss,

Merry Christmas, to my mistletoe kiss.

***

Blessings glisten, on the tree,

Prayers of hope, and dreams of ‘we’.

Icy tracks, from the sleigh ride made,

Ho, ho, ho, to the Christmas Parade.

Love creates, magic in the air,

Treasure this Christmas moment, so wonderful and rare.

A Christmas Gift

December 21, 2012November 28, 2013 Claire4 Comments

We don’t need to wait until Christmas Day to share love and happiness with our family and friends, each brand new day in our lives is a special gift. Wishing you an abundance of Christmas blessings over the festive season. Merry Kissmas from Clarabelle

A Christmas Gift

Frozen footsteps, in the snow,

Christmas candles, burning slow.

Love and light, endlessly shines,

Carol singing, Merry Christmas chimes.

Children giggle, with excited thoughts,

Bundles of energy, from tiny tots.

Prayers of hope, and happy smiles,

Families gathering, from across the miles.

Everyday, is a Christmas gift,

Not just once a year, for a special uplift.

Hold each moment, treasure it well,

Fairies dance, under your magical spell.

My Christmas Life

December 19, 2012November 28, 2013 Claire6 Comments

When you feel emotional pain in your heart, sometimes it is really difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit, I know this because I experienced it for a few years in a row. At that time, I didn’t really want to celebrate Christmas and now I realise that that thinking was all wrong, it didn’t really serve me well. This poem is all about that, release yourself from the heartache and cherish today for what it is, very very special. May the joy of Christmas spirit connect fully to your heart, mind and soul. Lots of love Clarabelle

My Christmas Life

Christmas after Christmas, the spirit died,

Pain in my head, from all the tears I cried.

No sparkling tree, under the moonlit sky,

A heavy heart, from the last goodbye.

Something felt missing, I let it all go,

Focus was negative, no energy did show.

I had closed the door, to life and all,

Until little robin redbreast, chirped his jingle bell call.

He said…..”Open your mind, to all that could be,

Your spirit is alive, set it free.

Spread your wings, get out of the box,

There’s a twinkle in your heart, its voice does talk.”

Fireworks exploded, I joined the stars,

My Christmas Life on earth, was felt in Venus and Mars.
