Christmas Poems

By Frances Sydnor Tehie

CHRISTMAS POEMS is a collection of 24 sonnets celebrating the Christmas season. These poems were chosen because of the special messages they convey about the Christmas season, and what it means to us.

Celebration is a major theme in this book. These poems encourage us to be thankful for what we have, and to be watchful for the joyfully unexpected events that occur in life. They also encourage us to appreciate the many blessings that come forth in unexpected ways.
