Where can I get poems related to the theme of Christmas that are
either public domain or are free to use on a website?

I located a website with about 40 Christmas and holiday poems.

The author states:
Personal and non-commercial use of my poetry is free, and you may
freely distribute my poetry, post it on a web site, publish it in a
newsletter, etc. If you sell my poetry as, for example, gift books,
cards, framed or unframed posters, etc., you must let me know and send
me a reasonable percentage of your profit. I retain the copyright and
all residual rights.

Would these poems be of your interest?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Hi there!

I've located a number of sites with free Christmas poetry.  Each site
has its own terms of use - most ask simply that if you use the poetry
on a website, that you credit the author (and in some cases, provide a
link back):
