A Christmas Poem by Jennifer S. Wallace

Dec. 2025

What of Christmas poems

With rhyme, romance and pageantry

Silver sleigh bells and carols

Winter alighted by the Nativity

Decking halls with bows and boughs

The sacred shopping sprees

Searching for the perfect star

To top the Christmas tree

What of the Christmas table

Moaning under the weight

Filling our bellies and sleep

Scraping remains from our plate

What of the guest who is missing

From our dining repartee

If only we could see Him

And invite him to the feast

Sometimes we miss

God’s precious gift

A family being counted

A baby in a feeding trough

The challenges they surmounted

Sometimes we miss the

The eternal gift

The unexpected, expected saviour

God in the flesh who walked among us

Was the baby in a manger
