St. Nicholas
Forest. Track a white field.
When the road as her grandmother,
Willows poor - sleepy, naked,
Tales zaviryusi whisper.
Mother vypryadaye yarn.
On the stove warms the shoulders of his grandfather,
He would tell us tales
On the prince and the snake.
For houses where fir,
Howling wind sribnodzvonno,
Goes, goes some distance
Sankoh parokonno.
And spruce whisper: "Goes!"
Kaganets jumped up.
- Mom! Dad! To Father, grandfather!
Someone is knocking outside!
And spruce for houses,
And poplar - barn where:
- Goes, goes sanochkamy
The children of St. Nicholas.

Meeting
I look forward to -
Today, St. Nicholas.
How to become dark outside,
He comes in secret.
Yet no one saw
And in children's beds
It puts under his pillow
Gifts and books.
I want to see the miracle
And today I will not sleep.
Long, long time I did not sleep:
All waited, waited, waited ...
We start to sleep ...
Nicholas entered the room,
He leaned over me
And the beard tickles.
Something whispers quietly.
I want to open my eyes,
But I can probably sleep.
I love Nicholas!
V. Paronova
Nicholas
Thou art to lie down to sleep faster,
For coming to visit Nicholas.
You see, the first Zvezdochka burns -
It is Nicholas us hurry.
He has horses white as snow,
Beard syvenka to foot,
In silver sanochky Barrett
And the wind Viet beard.
Nicholas of children knows everything
Gifts carries each,
He has for children's pillows
Prizes full - even a bag!

Holiday poems from friends site
When in windows - the stars
all soput beds,
Mom and dreams sea
and daughters - new book
about angels and summer,
and angels - my mother
someone quietly walking the world
with the full bag.
Collect the dreams in your pocket
to select treats:
comma - a handful of sweets,
who - in mandaryntsi
and yet all of such
natytsyaty under ears,
that there was no one
Not filled pillows.
And somewhere izranku-morning
with the first potyahusem
magical wonder-sledge
charming grandfather
will bring the house already
at the kraysviti
dosynaty gifts,
which nasnyly children.

Mice also waiting ...
At St. Nicholas
Mice also waiting
So early fall,
Politely listening to my mother
Even tisnenko to bag
Prytulyayut gray ears,
All trust hearing
Amazing quiet rustle,
To that magic moment
Nevertheless, the tail will catch.
And the night will sing softly,
Spatky-spatky want eyes,
In sweet dreams we find
Nicholas mice.
And in the morning - a miracle again
Smiling happily
From under the pillows of all of them!
This tale comes to the house ...
