The Spirit of Santa Claus

Poems that explore the enduring meaning and spirit of Santa as a symbol of kindness, generosity, and joy.



1. The Truth of Santa Claus
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Who says Santa isn't real,
   In that jolly suit of red and teal?
   For every stocking hung with care,
   There's a bit of magic lingering there.
   
   It’s not about the gifts or toys,
   But love that fills each girl and boy,
   The spirit comes, unseen, to stay,
   Spreading joy on Christmas Day.




2. More Than Just a Story
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Daddy tries, but he can’t be
   The Santa Claus kids wish to see.
   He may be strong and kind and true,
   But Santa’s touch is something new.
   
   For Santa’s heart, so big and wide,
   Touches all the world inside.
   A symbol pure, a spark of grace,
   That leaves love in every place.




3. Of Course...
   by Truman Capote
   
   Of course there is a Santa Claus.
   It's just that no single somebody
   Could do all he has to do.
   So the Lord has spread the task among us all.
   That's why everybody is Santa Claus.
   I am.
   You are.

4. Believing Still
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   So call him Santa, or call him cheer,
   That spark that comes this time of year.
   Symbols shine to show us truth,
   For young at heart, and those in youth.
   
   A child believes, and so do we,
   That kindness lives in mystery.
   To those who doubt, we say with cheer -
   Yes, Santa’s spirit is always here!

Believing in Santa at Any Age

Poems that reflect the joy of believing in Santa, regardless of age, and the special role he plays in fostering hope and happiness.



5. Is There Really A Santa
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2011
   
   The holiday season is coming,
   The music and decorations give it away,
   I do love to see that it's upon us,
   I can't wait to see Santa's Sleigh.
   
   I know that I'm not a child,
   But I can't help to wonder the truth,
   Is Santa really among us?
   The answer would be yes among the youth.
   
   The thought of him and his reindeer,
   Flying through the night sky,
   Makes me feel as if I saw the twinkle,
   Coming from Santa's right eye.
   
   So what if I'm an adult,
   Adults can believe in Santa too.
   I've decided that no matter what happens,
   I will always believe that Santa's true!




Christmas Quotes



6. Santa Exists
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2018
   
   If Santa Claus did not exist
   Think of the excitement the children would miss
   December would be a month of gloom
   Nothing to look forward only doom.
   
   God created everything
   He knew the happiness Santa would bring
   The joy in the faces of girls and boys
   When the tree is full of lots of toys.
   
   The blessing you see
   Is that you can be
   A Santa to those in need
   And you will be blessed indeed.
   
   Santa brings magic for all
   Doesn't matter whether you're big or small
   A time to share and give
   Generosity is a great way to live!

The Magic of Christmas Eve

A poem that captures the enchanting anticipation of Santa’s arrival on Christmas Eve.



7. 'Twas The Night
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2018
   
   'Twas the night before Christmas
   And I was beginning to doubt
   That Santa won't come
   And that caused me to pout.
   
   But then I heard the jingle on the roof
   It could only be a reindeers hoof.
   I closed my eyes, and pretended to sleep
   Not a whisper from me, not even a peep.
   
   I rose early the next morn
   And, oh, what a delight
   Santa did come
   In the middle of the night.
   




8. How Does Santa Know?
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   How does Santa know what I want this year?
   Does he have secret ways to overhear?
   He reads every letter, listens with care,
   To dreams and wishes floating in the air.
   
   With a twinkle, he smiles, he’s happy to see
   The joys that light up each family tree.
   So if you wonder how he knows what to bring -
   It’s Santa’s magic, in everything!




Children's Christmas Poems



9. How Does Santa Fit Down the Chimney?
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   How does Santa fit down the flue?
   With a belly so round, it can't be true!
   He chuckles, "It's magic, a Christmas delight,
   That lets me slip through on this special night."
   
   A wiggle, a jiggle, a sprinkle of cheer,
   And Santa's inside with a laugh you can hear!
   So if you wonder, don’t let out a shout -
   It’s Christmas magic, there's no doubt!




10. Been Good or Bad?
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
    
    How does Santa know if I’ve been good or bad,
    If I shared my toys, or got a bit mad?
    He sees the kindness in what I do,
    The helping hands and "thank yous," too.
    
    Santa knows that no one’s perfect each day,
    But it’s the love in our hearts that lights his way.
    So, he watches with care and a smile so wide,
    For the nice things we do and the goodness inside.

• How do reindeer fly?

• Why doesn’t everyone see Santa on Christmas Eve?
  Santa is very good at staying out of sight! He knows that if he’s seen, it might make children too excited to sleep. So, he uses his magic to stay hidden until he’s back in the sleigh, ready to visit the next home. That way, when everyone wakes up, they can be surprised by the gifts he’s left!




• Why does Santa give some children different gifts than others?
  Santa knows that every child is special and unique, so he tries to bring gifts that fit each child best. Some children might love art supplies, while others love books or toys. Santa picks gifts that he thinks each child would like most, and he always hopes his gifts bring joy.




• How does Santa deliver gifts to all the children in one night?
  Santa has been delivering gifts for a long, long time, so he’s gotten very fast! His reindeer are quick, too, and he uses a little Christmas magic to slow down time just enough to reach every home. That’s why he can travel all around the world in one night!

• Does Santa eat all the cookies that children leave out?
