The most famous of the Christmas stories is probably that of the Bible story of the Birth of Jesus, which is written by Luke, the physician. It is the basis on which subsequent stories about the birth of the King of the Earth are framed. The Three Wise Men is another of the popular Christmas story, which is based on the traditional Christian belief that three kings arrived at Bethlehem from three different directions, followed a single star. These are the kinds of stories, which familiarize with the Christian beliefs and traditions. The story titled The Shoemaker and the Elves again reinstates the fact that Christmas is the time of wish fulfillment and good cheer. Another touching Christmas story is O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi. This is a story, which beautifully brings out the essence of Christianity, which is to sacrifice what we hold dear to bring a smile on the face of our dear ones.
Like the stories, the Christmas poems too uphold the festive spirit. Written essentially in simple style, they talk about various themes. One of the most favorite themes of the Christmas poem is Santa Claus. Jennie D. Moore’s To Santa Claus is a poem, which reads like a letter from a kid to his/her dear pal asking him to bring all “I need”. Susie Best’s A Catastrophe is another poem, which also is about the children’s fondness of Santa, who is referred here as “Kriss Kringle”. The children think that it will be a catastrophic event if old Santa forgets that the Christmas Eve is round the corner. Birth of Jesus Christ is another major theme for poems. Some of the poems written on this theme are The Stable, Nativity Song, and The First Christmas.
