Funny Poems about Christmas
1. Santa’s Misplaced Glasses
This poem humorously explores what happens when Santa can’t find his glasses on Christmas Eve.
Santa searched high and low,
For his glasses, before he’d go,
“I can’t read my list, oh what a twist!”
In his workshop, lost in mist.
He checked his sleigh, and in his boot,
Under the cookies, but they were moot,
“Ho ho ho,” he chuckled in strife,
Glasses lost, oh what a life!
At last in his beard, what does he find?
His glasses there, he’s no longer blind!
With a wink and a smile, he flies out in style,
Delivering gifts, mile after mile.
2. The Reindeer Games
This poem depicts the reindeer playing their own silly games on Christmas Eve.
The reindeer played in the snow so white,
Antler tag, under the moonlight,
Rudolph’s nose, a glowing beacon,
In their games, they were never beaten.
Prancer pranced, Dancer danced,
Vixen’s hide-and-seek, enhanced,
Comet and Cupid, in a race,
Through the snow, they’d gracefully pace.
As Santa watched with a jolly laugh,
His team in fun, better than any staff,
Reindeer games, a sight to behold,
In the North Pole, so frosty and cold.
3. The Tangled Lights
A funny tale about the annual struggle of untangling Christmas lights.
Every year we face a plight,
Tangled Christmas lights, oh what a sight!
Red, green, blue, all in a knot,
In this tangle, we’re surely caught.
Hours spent, untangling away,
Ready for that festive display,
But by the time they’re straight and neat,
We’re too tired to enjoy the feat.
Yet once they’re up, all shining bright,
The struggle seems like a past flight,
Our tangled lights, now a merry glow,
In our Christmas, a jolly show.
4. The Christmas Tree Cat
This poem is about a cat causing chaos with the Christmas tree.
Our cat loves the Christmas tree,
With its baubles and lights, so free,
Climbing up, with a leap and bound,
Ornaments falling, all around.
Under the tree, he’d proudly sit,
Amidst the chaos, a perfect fit,
With a tinsel crown and a pine needle coat,
Our Christmas cat, afloat.
Though he topples our festive decor,
His antics, we can’t ignore,
Our Christmas tree cat, so spry and fat,
In our holiday, a mischievous brat.
5. The Gift-Wrapping Disaster
A humorous look at the challenges of gift wrapping during the holiday season.
Gift wrapping, a task so grand,
With paper and ribbon, in hand,
But tape sticks to fingers, paper tears,
Gift wrapping, one of our holiday fears.
Boxes too big, paper too small,
The struggle of wrapping, befall,
Yet with each fold, and each cut,
We wrap our love, no ifs or buts.
So when you unwrap a gift so snug,
Think of the battle, with a hug,
Our gift-wrapping disaster, a labor of love,
Wrapped in the spirit of Christmas above.
6. The Snowman’s New Hat
This poem tells the story of a snowman who gets an unexpected hat.
Our snowman stood so tall and neat,
With a carrot nose, and coal for feet,
But what he lacked, was a hat on his head,
So we found one, red and widespread.
On his head, the hat sat askew,
Making him look like a snowman who knew,
A fashion statement, bold and brash,
Our snowman now, quite the flash.
With his new hat, he stood in pride,
In our yard, he did not hide,
A snowman so chic, in the winter sun,
His new hat, a hit, a run.
7. The Mince Pie Fiasco
This poem humorously recounts a family’s attempt at baking mince pies, with chaotic results.
In the kitchen, we gathered around,
To make mince pies, renowned,
But flour flew, and pastry tore,
A baking fiasco, at its core.
The oven smoked, the filling spilled,
Our baking dreams, unfulfilled,
Yet through the mess and the fuss,
We laughed, in our holiday ruckus.
So when we eat our store-bought pies,
We remember our tries,
Our mince pie fiasco, a funny tale,
In our Christmas, a hearty ale.
8. The Eggnog Experiment
A comedic take on the adventurous and often unpredictable task of making homemade eggnog.
This Christmas, we thought, let’s make eggnog,
A festive drink, in a holiday blog,
But eggs whipped wrong, and milk spilled out,
Our eggnog experiment, in doubt.
With nutmeg here, and cinnamon there,
We mixed and stirred, with extra care,
Yet what we made, was a curious brew,
Our eggnog, a strange, new stew.
So we sipped our creation, with a brave face,
In our holiday cheer, a funny trace,
Our eggnog experiment, not quite right,
But in our laughter, a merry night.
9. Santa’s Vegan Reindeer
This poem humorously explores what happens when one of Santa’s reindeer decides to go vegan.
Santa had a reindeer, who went vegan one day,
Said no more carrots, hay was the way,
In the sleigh, he sat, with a leafy green,
A sight in the team, never before seen.
Through the night they flew, with vegan power,
Over rooftops and trees, tower by tower,
Santa laughed and said, “What a sight!”
A vegan reindeer, in the Christmas night.
At each house, they left gifts and cheer,
With our vegan reindeer, leading the rear,
A Christmas tale, funny and dear,
In the legend of Santa, a new gear.
10. The Caroling Cat Choir
This poem depicts a group of cats who decide to form a caroling choir, with amusing results.
Our cats formed a choir, one Christmas Eve,
To carol and purr, a plan to conceive,
But instead of songs, meows they sang,
A feline melody, with a twang.
Door to door, they prowled with glee,
Singing their meows, so free,
Neighbors laughed, at the sight,
Cats caroling, in the night.
So if you hear a meow chorus near,
Know it’s our cats, spreading cheer,
Their caroling venture, a funny sight,
In the Christmas glow, a delight.
