Category: Christmas Poems

Welcome to our Christmas poems! Curl up fireside as we present a merry mix of holiday poems both classic and cutting-edge to fill your heart with good cheer this Yuletide season. From time-honored verses to ones penned by emerging poets, these festive rhymes capture the magical spirit of Christmas.

Start off by reminiscing with Alfred Lord Tennyson’s nostalgic “In Memoriam A.H.H.” and Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved seafaring “Christmas At Sea.” Recite Tennyson’s bold traditional ode “Ring Out, Wild Bells” as we welcome the coming new year. Feel the wonder of Christmas night in Thomas Hardy’s pastoral “The Oxen.”

Transition to contemporary voices like Shweta Garg’s wintery “Snow Starved” and Lori Lipsky’s vivid “A Snow Day Hue” before getting swept up in Clement Clarke Moore’s iconic “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” We’ve included Grace Curtis’ charming contemporary ode to the Christmas tree itself as well.

Reflect on the deeper meaning of the holiday with classics like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s resonant “Christmas Bells” and Robert Southwell’s moving “The Burning Babe” alongside D.H. Lawrence’s modernist “Winter in the Boulevard.”

This collection of both age-old and newly penned yuletide rhymes captures all that’s magical about poetry and Christmas! We’ll keep adding to the lineup, but for now curl up by the fire and enjoy our holly jolly selections.
