Blogmas Series: Christmas Poems

Taking a break from my regularly scheduled blogmas posts, in order to share with you some holiday poems.

This Christmas season is such a special time to remember the true reason for this season, Jesus. In honor of this holiday season, I wanted to share with you some precious Christmas poems that I found. Sometimes it can be challenging to articulate my feelings. However, these poems put words together in the most beautiful way!

I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have, since I found them.

Love Came Down at Christmas 
By, Christina Georgina Rossetti

 Love came down at Christmas,
love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
star and angels gave the sign.

 Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, Love divine;
worship we our Jesus,
but wherewith for sacred sign?

 Love shall be our token,
love be yours and love be mine;
love to God and others,
love for plea and gift and sign.

Once Upon a Christmas Time

By, Dona M. Maroney

Once upon a Christmastime

The angels sang with joy,

To herald the comming

Of a precious Baby Boy.

Their shouting filled the heavens

And shook the mighty earth,

And sent the shepherds searching

For the place of His glorious birth. 

And when they found the manger

And gazed upon His face,

They knelt in adoration

In that low and holy place.

Oh, Father, fill me with the love

That filled the earth that night, 

A love that reaches throughout the world,

And fills it with Your light.

The True Meaning of Christmas

By, Unknown

Far away in Bethlehem, a Baby Boy was born; 

Born with neither riches nor with fame, 

Yet Wise Men came from all around to bring to Him their gifts, 

And peace was felt by all who heard His name. 

Angels watched Him as He slept, 

and gently rocked His bed; 

Their voices singing softly in His ear; 

His Mother and His Father both gave thanks to God above 

For the greatest gift of all, their Son, so dear 

They knew His life upon this earth 

would not be filled with wealth, 

They also knew He would encounter strict; 

But most of all, they knew that He would be a loving Child, 

And teach the Love of God throughout His life. 

 At Christmas, as we celebrate 

this Birth of Jesus Christ, 

Let’s keep in mind the truth of Christmas Day; 

For it’s not the Christmas wrapping, 

nor the gifts that lie within, 

But our gift of love to others in every way…
