I’m Counting the Days until Christmas


Listen Later

Welcome to Poetry4kids. I’m Kenn Nesbitt. Today I’d like to share a fun new holiday poem with you. With Christmas just around the corner, I found myself wondering how many days were left until the big day. The phrase “I’m Counting the Days until Christmas” popped into my head, and I loved the rhythm of the words, as well as the idea of checking off each day on a calendar while excitedly looking forward to Christmas Day. It seemed like the perfect topic for a holiday poem! I hope you enjoy this festive little rhyme about the anticipation of Christmas.

I’m Counting the Days until Christmas

I’m counting the days until Christmas.

I’m counting them down one by one.
I’m checking my calendar daily
and crossing them off just for fun.

I’m counting the days until Christmas.

It’s something I do every year.
It’s always exciting to count them.
I can’t wait till Christmas is here.

I’m counting the days until Christmas.

I started at three sixty-five.
I just have to count down to zero,
and then Christmas Day will arrive.

I’m counting the days until Christmas.

I still have to count a few more.
Because it’s the day after Christmas,
my count is now three sixty-four.
