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!

Funny Christmas Poems
This family Christmas poem is a funny Christmas rhyme that could be a Christmas poem for a child or kid. A Christmas fantasy is described in this humorous Christmas poem. You could put this inside a Christmas gift.
And the room was dark as night,
The Christmas tree lit magically;
It was a fantastic sight!
A strange and funny sound,
As gifts began to unwrap themselves,
And toys jumped out all around.
And in a crazy trance,
The candy canes jumped off the tree
To do a silly dance.
To see what he could see;
He rode a shiny, bright red bike
Around the Christmas tree.
And before you could blink an eye,
The oven door opened, and from inside
Came a tiny pizza pie.
It knew what it was for;
By the time that it was emptied out,
A big puddle lay on the floor.
Was searching for a friend;
A toy soldier marched up and took her hand;
They were a perfect blend.
Asleep in Christmas dreams;
The soldier saluted; the doll gave a kiss;
At least that's the way it seems.
The toys went back in place;
But when mother woke in the morning,
You should have seen her face.
Yet mother gave a roar;
She looked at her wet shoes and yelled,
"What's this puddle on my floor?"
Funny Christmas poems are very popular. Here's a humorous Christmas poem that centers on eating.
We look forward to each treat.
The tables are full of our favorite foods;
We’ve got lots of good things to eat.
There’s cider and eggnog to slurp.
There’s so much going down at once,
Who can help an occasional burp?
Let’s all get down to chewing it,
And if we pass a little gas,
Who’ll notice? Everyone’s doing it.
Then pass the box of candy.
Next year will you please remind us
To have Alka-Seltzer handy!

The following soldier Christmas poem is not mine. It came to me by e-mail, with no return e-mail address or name. I have titled the poem All Is Secure. You can take it and use it for any good purpose, because of the text that accompanied the poem:
"This military Christmas poem was written by a Marine. The following is his request. 'Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. servicemen and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this.'"
In a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
And to see just who in this home did live.
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
A sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, it was dark and dreary;
I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly
Curled up on the floor in this one-bedroom home.
The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured a United States soldier.
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?
I realized the families whom I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.
And grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.
On a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.
The very thought brought a tear to my eye;
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
"Santa don't cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more,
My life is my God, my country, my Corps."
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,
And we both shivered from the cold night's chill.
This guardian of honor so willing to fight.
Then the soldier rolled over, and with a voice soft and pure,
Whispered, "Carry on Santa. All is secure."
"Merry christmas my friend!" And to all a good night.
If you found a poem you like
and you feel like saying thank you,
how about buying me a drink?
