Hanukkah | Australian Children’s Poetry

LOTS to celebrate in December! Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, St. Nicholas Day, Bodhi Day, Las Posadas and of course the summer/winter solstice. Wherever you and whatever you celebrate let us know by sending in your poems to ozchildrenspoetry@gmail.com.

Please note the website will not be checked regularly over the Christmas/New Year period but will start up again around January 10th.

And this will be my final post before handing over the reigns to the very capable hands of Linda Davidson and Celia Berrell. Both have been staunch supporters of ACP and have contributed some wonderful poetry to the site.

Thank you to everyone who has posted, liked or subscribed over the past two years! Keep your wonderful poems coming in 2026 and beyond. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

I’m a bit late as the first week of Christmas is almost over but . . . let’s get our trees up, put on the decorations, add some lights and sparkle and hope for Santa to come! Other celebrations at this time of year include Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, International Volunteer Day (Dec 5) and International Migrants Day (Dec 18).

Christmas is a time for family, reflection and being thankful, so wherever you are and whatever you choose to celebrate in December, I hope it is a happy and safe time.

From my family to yours HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Please note: Australian Children’s Poetry will take a small break from responding to emails and publishing poetry from December 20 through to January 5, 2025. We will be back publishing your wonderful poetry from January 6, 2025.
