Guest Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I am desparately looking for a Christmas poem to read out to the parents after our Nativity performance. I am wanting it to be light hearted and a bit funny rather than religious. It also needs to be suitable for children. I would be so grateful for any suggestions.

narnia Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 why not make up one of your own??'The tale of our past year.....' or something like it....you could mention each child and some of the fun things you've done, or that have happened?

luluj Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi LAB, Welcome from me. Just found this... A tiny bit of 'americanised vocabulary' but perhaps this could be adapted with due credit to the author?

Guest Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I have used this for years and cannot remember where it came from Mary had a baby One night in Bethlehem Three wise men came to see her, Bringing gifts with them. They made a special journey, Star led from distant lands, But first to visit Mary Were the men with gentle hands. God sent three quiet shepherds Before he sent the kings, For they are used to handling Little, newborn things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublinbay Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I found this among my daughter's school stuff stashed under the bed (making room for pressies!!) No idea who wrote it but it did make me laugh. Tried googling it to find the author to no avail. I keep my snowman in the freezer Just behind the pies He likes it there, he told me so I can see it in his eyes. I made him on a cold, cold morning When the snow was fresh and deep Now he sits in the freezer Near the fish that we got cheap. I keep my snowman in the freezer And look at him each day If I'd left him in the garden He'd simply have melted away But now he's like my grandma Living somewhere safe and nice He's in a frosty, snowy palace On a throne of coldest ice I keep my snowman in the freezer Near a lump of frozen beef And I've got a treat for him in August, I'm taking him to Tenerife!
