A Christmas poem

Submitted by on December 17, 2010 – 5:17 am3 Comments

The theme for the Friday Carnival over at Notes From Home this week is Christmas so I thought to share the alphabet poem we made using only Christmas words, which we then illustrated by painting the tree and by attaching the letters of the alphabet as decorations. Initially I thought it would be a good idea to write the poem around the tree, but it would be too messy so we started on a project that was much harder than I anticipated. We wrote the lines of the poem corresponding to each letter in a cloud and cut it. Using garden wire we connected each cloud with its letter on the tree making a 3D installation. In the end the result was worth the hard work we put in.

 A is for angels that are in the sky

B is for Bethlehem Jesus birthplace

C is for Christmas

and D is for Day

E is for Eve, a night for pray

F is for Father Christmas whom kids await

G is for gold that together with myrrh and incense the three wise men donate

H is for holiday

I is for ivy

J is for joy, jolly and jelly

K is for king

L is for lights

M is for Merry

N is for Nativity

O is for oranges the smell of noel

P is for party, pudding and pie

Q is for quiet

R is for Rudolph the famous reindeer

S is for sleigh that with the bright red nose it steers

T is for tree that without it Christmas cannot be

U is for united that we aim to be

V is for Vixan, another of the nine reindeer every Christmas

W is for worship

X + mas is short for Christmas

Y is for Yuletide another word for these jolly days

Z is for the zillions of good wishes I send your way
