Christmas is both a holiday and a holy day, and from the start it
has been associated with poetry, from the song of the seraphim
above the manger to the cherished carols around the punch bowl.
This garland of Christmas poems contains not only the ones you
would insist on finding here ("A Visit from St. Nicholas," "Lo, How
a Rose E'er Blooming," and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" among
them) but such equally enchanting though lesser-known Yuletide
treasures as Emily Dickinson's "The Savior must have been a docile
Gentleman," Anthony Hecht's "Christmas Is Coming," Rudyard
Kipling's "Christmas in India," Langston Hughes's "Shepherd's Song
at Christmas," Robert Graves's "The Christmas Robin," and happy
surprises like Phyllis McGinley's "Office Party," Dorothy Parker's
"The Maid-Servant at the Inn," and Philip Larkin's "New Year Poem."
