Written by Norman W. Brooks, Let Everyday Be Christmas is a short and inspirational poem, ideal to be recited during a get together session.

Let Everyday Be Christmas
Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for
others is good you do yourself.

Christmas Gift Suggestions by Oren Arnold is a short and sweet poem, highlighting the true gifts one should give to different kind of relations in your life.

Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

In this untitled poem, Clement C. Moore, like a child expresses his desire that Santa Claus comes soon and puts gifts in the stockings hung at the chimney.

Untitled
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

In a Christmas Wish, poetess Eugene Field has made a wish from Santa, not for herself but for the poor little boys and girls. A heart warming poem, it makes for a must recitation for children to teach them the true meaning of Christmas.

A Christmas Wish
I'd like a stocking made for a giant,
And a meeting house full of toys,
Then I'd go out in a happy hunt
For the poor little girls and boys;
Up the street and down the street,
And across and over the town,
I'd search and find them everyone,
Before the sun went down.
