Example Poem 1: "The Night Before Christmas Service"

'Twas the night before Christmas service, and all through the pews,
Not a creature was stirring, not even the church mice infest.
The hymnals were placed in the pews with care,
In hopes that the congregation soon would be there.

The pastor was nestled all snug in his robe,
While visions of sermon points danced in his globe.
And Mom in her choir robe, and I in my usher cap,
Had just settled our nerves for a long winter's nap.

When out in the narthex there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter.
Away to the lobby I flew like a flash,
Tore open the doors and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the steeple! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the church steeple the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys was flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"

Example Poem 2: "The Church Christmas Play"

It's time for the church Christmas play,
The costumes are ready, let's put on the display.
The children are filled with excitement and glee,
As they act out the story of baby Jesus, you see.

Mary and Joseph, with donkey in tow,
Seek shelter in a stable, where animals low.
The angels appear, with wings bright and white,
Announcing the birth of the Savior, that wondrous night.

But wait, what's this? A shepherd's gone astray,
He's chasing a sheep that's decided to play.
The wise men are lost, following a star so bright,
But end up at the wrong place, an amusing sight.

There's laughter and joy, as the play goes on,
Even though things may not quite go as planned.
But amidst all the chaos and fun to be had,
The message of Christmas shines bright and glad.

So let's celebrate together, with smiles on our faces,
As we gather in church, in our festive places.
For the true meaning of Christmas, we hold dear,
Bringing us hope, love, and good cheer.
