Most Commented Holidays Poems (355)

I haven't gotten beyond this Bah Hum Bug!
I really haven't
And it is because I know I need to be more generous
I need to make my own transformation
I wish sometimes I did own a company like the one I work at
I wish I could double their salary
I wish I could provide them with a comfortable temperature
Health care would be free so a person didn't have to worry
About financial ruin because of high insurance premiums
And low benefits
The workers would be happy to come to work
The overtime would not be allowed so they could rest
And spend time with their family
So that we, all of us could truly say God bless us everyone!

Its Christmas time and there’s no need to be afraid
An amazing line of a song
From a time when people came together and changes were made
We all watched our screens together we sat totally engaged
We all came together sitting and watching we were enraged

The plight of the people and the tears and screams
The horrific pictures across the world they beamed to our screens
A human cry for help
A voice to those who previously only had silent dreams

We pledged our help
We shared our small bit of wealth
We looked at ways to campaign and we raised
We did all this together so we could send aid

We did this because we believed
We believed times would change
We believed that all life’s essentials
Never again be out of any human’s range

There’s a world outside your window
It is a world of dread and fear
It is a world invisible to our eyes
And when it shouts out we tend not hear

It might snow in Dublin this Christmas time
If not, it will be cold
As we wind down on Christmas eve night
In the warmth of the glow from our Christmas tree lights
We go to our beds and rest our heads
Waiting for Santa to leave presents at the bottom of beds

There’s a world outside your window
It is a world of dread of fear
The only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
The Christmas bells will ring but they will not bring cheer

It might snow is Dublin this Christmas time
They may not get a gift this year
From side streets and shop door ways
They are all potential homeless graves
Christmas night thank god, it’s them instead of you

Remember a time when we all came together
Maybe we can share instead of pretending the problem is not there
A little happiness can replace despair
Tears of sadness can be replaced by a happy face
The smallest gift the smallest donation
Can give the homeless of Ireland a Christmas to remember

It's been a while since I dropped by. Christmas time often stirs deep seated feelings. It can make you cry for no reasons or reminds you of a few cherished moments. For me it always makes me long to be home with my family. So almost every Christmas I have gone home to NZ where my people are and now and then my beloved husband would join me like he did last Christmas! I love sharing moments with him; I believe going away together is the highlight of any marriage because it enables a couple to create memories they can look back to later in years. Moments on the road with my hubby means a lot, you can learn a lot about each other when you have to rely on each other.

We decided to stay home this Christmas so we can recharge our batteries before going back to work. That's the plan! We'll soon see! I'm not very good at staying home, I'm a wanderer and born with a pair of itchy feet. Life's too short and there's a big beautiful world waiting to be explored.

CS-PC was like my second family. So each Christmas I try to drop by and say hello to old friends and new people in the corner! Now and then when NU remembers to tell me he posted a poem or when I find time or can't sleep... I'd come and have a read and noticed that there are still many of the poets I knew when I use to be part of this family.

To Socrates, Steve1223, Rob (trurorob), elo69, Candy Kid, Joy, Kathy (US), Kathy (NZ), Redex now ExRed, Marikia, Soulgoddess, Yankee, Jimee, Abby, Morgen from Singapore, Happy C, QSF and our good friend Phyllis and of course Nuwahri61 and others I can't recall at the moment....I just want to wish you all the very best this Christmas!

The same goes to a few new poets whose poems I have come across while browsing.. like Yaspark ( haven't read all your poems but I like the ones's I've read) ... and then there's Salamuna or Lilly from Holland. I remember there was another Lilly before NU had amongst his female poet friends ...could it be you?

Read most of your poems, Nu seems to have commented on most...I know he doesn't very often comment, it is quite awesome when he does! I can only say... reading between the lines ... You shared lovely comments... what a nice way to inspire another poet. I can so relate to how nice or awesome it feels when you find that fellow poet who gets you. It's been donkeys years since that happened to me ?? ?? Thank you for sharing your stories and inspiring other poets in this corner. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Always wanted to come and see the Floriade but each time I attempt.... something always happens. I missed out again last time. I think the next one is in 2022. If I'm still around...maybe?

It's always an awesome feeling each time I drop by to see familiar faces, read from familiar poets but just as awesome to find new faces who are instantly dear to the rest of the CS-PC family. Variety they say makes things interesting!

Although I have made a conscious decision not to spend a lot of time here (a promise made when we got married); if and when I find a bit more time in the near future I might still come and pour my heart out now and then... I am not an educated poet so I only mostly write free verse poetry organically from the heart.

I will always be grateful to Bill and Macduff. Inspired by their brilliance I managed to pen my one and only sonnet.

Lastly I would like to say thanks to CS...and the Poetry Corner for without it my husband and I would not have met. I prayed for a simple man and a simple life and God granted it hence I will always be grateful!

May the blessings of Christmas be with you all and your families! I wish everyone all the very best for 2019...may you continue writing awesome poetry that non-poets like me can come and find inspiration from all year through! May those of you still seeking for that special one eventually find it. God bless you all! ??????

The cattle were bedded down on the hill
It was a peaceful sight that I saw
The winter moon hung high in the sky
Casting shadows on the side of the draw.

The Christmas lights on the ranch house below
Sparked a thought of a night gone by
When shepherds watching over their flocks
Heard the message from the sky.

I stopped and looked at the stars above
And listened where all was quiet
Then into my heart came the message
The angels delivered that night.

I stepped from my saddle, whispering aloud
"Shepherds watching over their flocks"
My horse rubbed his head on my shoulder
As he shifted his feet on the rocks.

The horse held his breath as we listened
I could almost hear the heavenly choir
Then the spirit bore witness once again
And burned in my heart like fire.

Yes, the ranchers, herders and cowboys
Who work beneath the wide open sky
Can understand how the shepherds felt
When they heard the voice from on high.

Let the rich and the powerful pity me
Let the city folk think I am strange
My silent prayer shall continue to be
"Lord, thanks for my home on the range".

~A Family Get together ~

May your Thanksgiving day
bring your family closer together

The warmest of feelings towards everyone there,
near or far

Enjoyment of the Thanksgiving feast,
From the carving of the Roasted turkey to the
whip creamed minced pie ~

Cranberry stuffing, whipped mashed potatoes
with mushroom gravy,
green salad w/dressing, squash soup,
red beets & green beans,
candied sweet potatoes,
hot biscuits with butter that melts
in your mouth.

Cakes and berried deserts,
apple & minced pie,
with heaping of whipped cream piled up high ~

Wishing one and all at Connecting Singles
An enjoyable Thanksgiving Day!

~ Happy Holidays ~

The Autumn leaves are now on the ground

Soon the snow flakes there will be found

Whitening it up with wind blown snow drifts

Ground covered earth embraced
with snow flake kisses

Wind will blow and howl outside

Logs will crackle and burn bright

Stay inside as it will be cold tonight

Soon the turkey dinner will be here to enjoy

Then on Christmas Dear Santa will appear

All dressed up in his Red and filled with cheer,

We will dream of Christmas, while we are in bed!

Holidays are wonderful to spend with you,

To spend them with family and our friends too ~

“Happy Holidays”

Poet

The house is filled with Christmas cheer
The lights on the tree twinkle like a star
The candy bowls are full
Yet my heart feels so bare
I’m just not in the Christmas spirt this year
I hung the stockings with great care
The kids are grown
They’ve all left home
No more babies or kids running around
As I sit here I frown
This year has been hard
I’ve let down my guard
Now all I do is sit in the yard
I pray that tomorrow will bring a better day
And my heart will be filled with Christmas joy
Maybe Santa will even bring me a toy

Watch Peter Cottontail
Color eggs
Eat chocolate bunny starting at feet
Leave in freezer and scrape some chocolate off so it lasts for months
Eat chicken Peeps, malted eggs, chocolate eggs, and jellybeans
Leave the green, white, and black jellybeans
Go to church and hear the people say "crucify him" and I don't say it
Also on Palm Sunday you get a palm reed
You take it home and make a work of art out of it and let dry and save
Eat deviled eggs and hard boiled eggs on Easter
Watch The Ten Commandments
Watch HOP
Eat with family
Enjoy your Easter!

It's a holiday coming up real soon
It happens every fourth Thursday in November
For me it's about the helium balloons
In the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Power Rangers, Pokemon, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Trolls, Angry Birds, Ice Age Squirrel chasing the acorn
Spongebob, Elf on a Shelf, Hello Kitty, Ronald McDonald
Koolaid, Paddington the Bear, How To Train A Dragon
Pillsbury Doughboy, Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus
Then there is the football games
Always one with the Detroit Lions
Then we eat a real turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce
Green bean cassarole and pumpkin pie
The story of the pilgrims being helped out by kind Indians
Each sharing a feast
Each thankful to be alive in this new land
May your Thanksgiving be a joyful one

May the ghosts that rise to meet you
Just be the kids from down the street
May all the monsters at your door
Be there to trick-or-treat
May the eerie glow
You see at night
Be jack-o'-lanterns grinning

And, above all,
Hope the day is happy-
Right from the beginning!
