Filled with baubles, warmth and light,
Precious symbol of our affection
For Christmas time and its perfection,
Show each night your radiant glory
For "oohs" and "aahs" obligatory.
Show something special at your crown,
An angel, star, or splendid piece
To make our holiday joy increase,
An icon, pure, ideal, complete,
For Christmas memories fond and sweet.
Oh Christmas tree, we love you so!
Christmas poems often mention winter weather and snow, but lots of people celebrate the holiday in warm climates. It occurred to me to write a Christmas greeting poem for the gazillions of people who live in California, Florida, and other places where it never snows. Note: Make this Christmas poem your own: If "beach" doesn't fit, substitute "best." Fill in your state or town where it says "location."
There's not a sign of snow.
Instead we spend our yuletide days
In the sun's warm cheery glow.
The lights, the gifts, the bells,
(And "snowbirds" who arrive en masse
To fill our beach hotels.)
With our happy Christmas mood,
And we can also walk and run
Without having to be snowshoed.
Who have no snow or ice.
We think our sunny Christmas here
Is a holiday paradise!
