THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS (2016)

“12 Days of Christmas” is story about a hopelessly romantic writer, Cynthia (Meredith Hagner), and the inability of the men in her life to live up to her romantic ideal.

But when her and her friend and illustrator Liam (Bobby Campo) go to her father’s house for the Christmas Wedding of her sister Janet (Megan Park) Cynthia starts receiving at her door anonymous gifts of the “12 Days of Christmas”.

It's a fun mystery but Cynthia is determined to find out who the great romantic is that’s sending the gifts and conscripts everyone around her to assist.

Eventually she decides that it must be a local Deputy, Scott (Aaron O'Connell), but will he live up to her expectations or will there be a final twist or two.

OH MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

 

Oh my Christmas Angel

Won’t you here my plea

Oh Christmas Angel

Spend Christmas with me

 

Oh my Christmas Angel

Surely heaven sent

Oh Christmas Angel

Be my Christmas present

 

Oh my Christmas Angel

Wont you here my plea

Let me un-wrap you

Beneath the Christmas tree

 

Oh my Christmas Angel

Oh please hear me do?

Oh Christmas angel

Let me make a devil out of you

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 33

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Grange

Not a creature was stirring

Which seemed rather strange

As they were party animals

And needed little reason

But it turned out they’d gone

To Mauritius for the season

GREETINGS TO THE WORLD

 

“Happy Christmas” is what I chose to say

But many greetings are used for the day

To one and all during the festive season

And different languages are the reason

Say "Frolyke Kerstfeest" or "Joyoo Noel"

"Felleeth Navidad" even "Glaydlig Yool"

"Kalla Kristoogenna", "Boo-on Natarlee"

"Boas Festas" or "Sheng Dan Kwhy Lee"

You could say "Frerlicker Vine-akten"

Or maybe "Roshdesrom Kristovim" then

So you can say it in very many ways

But please never say “Happy Holidays”

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS (2009)

 

When the Naughty/Nice list is produced at the Northpole Santa is stunned to find that there are more Naughty children on the list than Nice for the first time ever so Santa (Douglas Campbell) refuses to go on with Christmas and leaves with Mrs. Claus (Rebecca Toolan) on their first Hawaiian holiday.

This is great news for firstborn daughter Rudolfa (Mary Donnelly-Haskell) who is waiting in the wings to succeed him and wants to turn Christmas into a creepy prank festival, but her gentle younger sister Kristen (Kathy Ireland) begs for the chance to save Christmas by redeeming a family who have lost the Christmas spirit, the Morgan’s.

 

Workaholic Widower Bill Morgan (John Dye) spends all his time on business and a budding affair with a close, equally workaholic spinster colleague, Harley Jones (Rachelle Carson) while his brother-in-law, Uncle Johnny (Wayne Thomas Yorke) acts as a poor role model to the cynical, materialistic, spoiled brats Kyle (James Kirk) and Brittany (Kirsten Prout).

Kristen arrives at the Morgan’s as the new au-pair, of which she has had a long list of predecessors, and slowly wins the kids over, helped by Johnny, who fears eviction, and begins to restore the Christmas spirit in the household which will ultimately save Christmas and thwart Rudolfa’s evil plan.

DID YOU FALL FROM HEAVEN?

 

Did you fall from heaven?

With the winter snow

You must be an Angel

You have that special glow

 

You must have come from heaven

An Angel from above.

Sent to me this Christmas

Sent to bring me love

 

Come sit beside me

In the glowing candle light

I never knew my love

Could ever burn so bright

 

From this first moment

As we drink a glass of wine

Your sweet angelic nature

Tells me you are divine

 

Wrapped in an Angels form

As our Christmas starts

You give me the gift of love

And I give to you my heart

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 32

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Manor

Not a creature was stirring

As they’d been cooked for dinner

JUST LIKE JACOB MARLEY

Peter was taken on Christmas Eve

Just like Jacob Marley

But the similarity ends there

He was never grasping or stingy

He had not been well for a time

And happy to pass without fuss

But he would have been hopping mad

That he was missing Christmas

He would not have planned it that way

And picked a better time to leave

I think he would have been happier

If he had died on New Years Eve


For my Brother Peter who died on Christmas Eve 2008

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS PROJECT (2016)

 

The Buckley family, parents, Pam and Ralph (Alison Akin Clark and Brian Neal Clark) and their four sons, Simon, Mathew, Peter and John, (Anson Bagley, Jacob Buster, Josh Reid and Cooper Daniel Johnson), have a family Christmas tradition called “Elving” where they select a family going through hard times and perform some anonymous gift-giving, of food primarily.

As the Buckley’s had a new baby on the way, more of the burden of  “Elvin” fell on the boys shoulders, but Mum selected the family to be “Elved”, and that year it was the Hagbart’s, unfortunately the boys were all too familiar with the Hagbart’s as they were the school bullies.

The story revolves around the second eldest son, Matthew, who has daily struggles with the family and in particular Finn (Gabe White) and doesn’t understand why they should be “Elved”.

That year’s annual “Elving” coincided with the arrival of the Goodman’s into the neighbourhood, Monica (Caitlin E.J. Meyer), Juniper (Grace Hallows) and Allen (Evan Clark) who are very soon roped into the ritual, which is good for Matthew as he quickly develops a crush on Juniper.

So as the arrival of another Buckley draws near and the holidays approach Matthew finds that with charity comes insight, and his feelings about Finn soften.

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES

 

Of all the Christmas’s I can remember

My best Christmas’s were the ones

Where I would decorate the tree with dad

And make Christmas cookies with mum

Thread popcorn and make paper chains

Each day opening the advent calendar

Wrapping the gifts in excited secrecy

Writing cards and sending them near and far

They are just distant memories now

But they were still the very best ones

And we must make Christmas memories

Now we have our daughters and our sons

DECEMBER, DECEMBER

 

December, December

The snow has come

Falling all night long

Kids its time to have some fun

 

December, December

Children playing in the snow

Skating and sledding

Faces all aglow

 

December, December

More snow will come

Then all through the winter

Kids will have more fun

WE ARE THE CAROL SINGERS

 

We are the carol singers

Who sing carols as we go

We sing in any weather

In rain or wind or snow

 

At every house or cottage

That stands upon the lane

We proudly sing a carol

In snow or wind or rain

 

We are the carol singers

We never feel chagrined

As we proudly sing together

In snow or rain or wind

 

We shake the tin for charity

Singing carols as we go

We are the carol singers

In rain or wind or snow

VISITING SANTA

 

You have to wait in line

To see Santa, but that’s fine

It’s worth every minute of queuing

And the anticipation of viewing

Santa Claus with his big belly

Wobbling like a bowl full of jelly

And his fruity chuckle you hear

In the Christmas grotto each year

Then you get to climb onto his lap

And have your special Christmas chat

Then all too soon its time to go

And Santa gives you a HO HO HO

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE SIXTH OF DECEMBER

 

Remember, remember the sixth of December

And put your red boots out

Because that is the very special day

When St Nicholas is about

The pudding is in the basin

The cloth is tied in a knot

We put it in the boiling water

And hear it hissing in the pot

With a girl with hairy nipples

THE MAN IN RED

It’s time for bed

Listen for the sleigh bells

Of the man in red

 

Cookies and milk

And fast asleep

Close those eyes

You mustn’t peep

You will see

Sweets and toys galore

To fill you with glee

CHRISTMAS WISH

 

I’m not looking forward to Christmas

Not since we lost Mum this year

I’m not looking forward to a Christmas

Devoid of any Christmas cheer

 

Dads doing his best to lift our spirits

All though inside he’s really hurting too

He wants to make it a special time

And do the things like Mum used to do

 

So we decked the house with garlands

And trimmed the Christmas tree

We hung the Christmas cards on strings

So that everyone could see

 

Then with all the decorations up

My Dad went round us one by one

To ask us what gift we wanted

And he promised his best would be done

 

My sister Jules wants new clothes

Kenny wants music of any kind

The twins they want an X-Box

And the baby really doesn’t mind

 

Then Dad asked me “what do you want son?

What gift would stop you feeling glum”?

I said “I don’t want a present Dad

All I wish for Christmas is my Mum”

Alone on Christmas day

While you are far away

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS WITH THE KAROUNTZOSES (2015)

 

Christmas with the Karountzose’s is an endearing comedy Christmas drama, set in present-day “Chicago”, centred around a Greek family at their dinner table on Christmas Eve.

Michael (Robert Krantz) is a workaholic by choice and has spent his entire life putting in the hours and has had to sacrifice a lot of family time in order to provide for that family.

However, after hearing a rumour that he's getting a long-overdue promotion, Michael invites his whole family over to celebrate, including his Uncle Telly (also played by Robert Krantz), but when the promotion falls through, Michael must spend a long night with 14 Greeks around his dinner table, and while he deals with the most important people in his life, he faces the prospect of failing to make the transition from workaholic back into the loving husband and father he once was.

This is a very enjoyable film with great warmth and humour.

NOT JUST ANOTHER CHRISTMAS

 

Christmas has come around

It’s another Christmas dear

Another special season

So full of Christmas cheer

 

Just another Christmas?

We had better not forget dear

It’s not just another Christmas

Something’s different this year

 

What’s special this Christmas?

You’ve surely not forgotten dear

A milestone is to be reached

That’s what’s special about this year

 

It’s a special Christmas isn’t it?

I see the penny has dropped dear

We must hang up baby's stocking

It’s his first Christmas this year

DEAR SANTA CLAUS

 

Dear Santa Claus

I have been good

I thought I’d mention that

So it’s understood

 

I don’t want

Something practical

Something useful

Nor educational

 

I don’t what

Something creative

Something arty

Or constructive

 

I don’t want

Something sporty

Something healthy

Not outdoorsy

 

What I want

Is an X-Box or a PS3

So I can escape

My boring reality

 

But I don’t want

You to bring me a Wii

It’s just too healthy

And drains my energy

DECEMBER HAS COME ROUND AGAIN

December has come round again

Another Christmas time is near

That time when young and old

Almost explode with festive cheer.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS (2018)

THE SANTA BLUES

 

Santa Claus works really hard

Dawn till dusk all the year long

And he is happy with his team

They are always singing a song

But in December he’s in the spotlight

And he can’t put a foot wrong

He must be on his best behaviour

When Christmas Eve comes along

He doesn’t really like the limelight

It’s the back room where he belongs

And during his great journey

When he suffers the reindeer’s pong

It’s for his happy team of helpers

And the cozy workshop he will long

He is much happier in the workshop

Working and Singing a Christmas song

CHRISTMAS PERFECTION

 

I found the perfect Christmas gift

And that’s what I’m unwrapping

She’s five foot two, eyes of blue

Slender, tender, figuratively cracking

 

So it’s a happy Christmas to me

For a very obvious reason

I’ve found myself the perfect gift

That I will enjoy all of the season

SNOWFLAKES ON THE DAY

 

Smoke curls from the chimneys,

And dissolves into the grey

Then the clouds in exchange

Release snowflakes on the day

 

Soon the air is full of white flakes

Filtering the sounds of life away

The land is soon under deep snow

Of snowflakes released on the day

SAD SANTA

Santa Claus is depressed

Its declining standards you see

The naughty list is now so long

It needs storing electronically

Where as the good list has shrunk

And now fits on a sheet of A3 

SANTA CLAUS REALLY LOVES HIS JOB

 

Santa Claus really loves his job

He doesn’t do it for the money

But some times it’s a struggle

And sometimes it’s not funny

Trying to please the kids today

Is certainly no easy task

Balancing what they deserve

Against what they ask

Sometimes Santa is impatient

With the ungrateful little buggers

And pictures them in the future

As sociopaths, fraudsters or muggers

But Santa Claus really loves his job

And most of the kids are a joy

So he does try to be patient

And see the best in every girl and boy

 

RUDOLPH THE RAMPANT

 

Rudolph has been grounded

And severely reprimanded

The cause is his nocturnal activity

During the season of the nativity

Donner has been knocked up

And Vixen is a favourite tup

There are many more names

Who’ve played his reindeer games

He is insatiable, even the boys

Have fallen victim of his joys

Now Santa has had enough

Since he mounted Billy Goat Gruff

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – BABY IN A MANGER (2019)

 

Christmas is naturally all about a miracle baby, but when the Church is plunged into darkness during the service, nobody is expecting a real baby to appear in the manger of the Church nativity scene.

CPS agent Alison (Monica Knox) and Police Detective Brock (Michael Morrone) just happen to be in the Church at the time, but both of them instantly claim jurisdiction over the child and it was clear to everyone that it would take a miracle for them just to stop bickering.

The only thing they agreed about unreservedly was that the child’s welfare was paramount; unfortunately, they had different views of how best to achieve their goal.

So, it was up to Christmas to work its magic.


THE JINGLE OF SLEIGH BELLS

 

The Jingle of sleigh bells, herald

His coming on Christmas Eve

When Santa Claus takes the time

To fill our stocking and I believe

That Santa Claus thinks sincerely

It’s better to give than to receive

YULETIDE GATHERING

 

On the oak and iron studded door

There hung a wreath of yuletide

That was so pleasing to the eye

It seemed to welcome you inside

 

The hallway was lit with candles

Of every shape, size and hue

And tasteful Christmas decorations

Seemed to be constantly in view

 

Down the entire length of the stairs

Entwining the polished mahogany

Garlands of holly and evergreen

Filled the scene most sumptuously

 

The drawing room was minimalist

Each decoration chosen with care

The focal point was the mantelpiece

And the little stocking hanging there

 

In the corner stood a mighty tree

Festively decked in all its glory

But their was more to the gathering

Than just the Christmas story

 

Every face bore a relaxed smile

Such was the festive atmosphere

And so proud was the hostess

But not just for the festive cheer

 

For this was the first Christmas

For their newborn son and heir

And so proud was the mother

Of her newborn son so fair

BUT SOFTLY THE MYRIAD SNOW FLAKES FALL

 

But softly the myriad snow flakes fall

These infinite flakes of purest white

Like pure white down of angels wings

Floating gently from heavens height

 

But this is no heaven-sent delight

This thing of beauty that cruelly lingers

For harshly touched is the naked earth

When touched by winters icy fingers

I just hope that I don’t have a heart attack

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

THERE’S NO BETTER TIME THAN CHRISTMAS

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

When we celebrate his birth

In the sanctuary of a candlelit church

We rejoice for all we’re worth

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

To look beneath ageing skin

Of any of the old souls in the season

And still find a child within

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

It made your eyes water to be perfectly crude

Wow this baby needs to start eating solid food

DECEMBER SKY

 

Under the rich December sky

Breath plumed in the frost filled air

The winter sky sparkled with stars

Like diamonds stitched to the curtain of night

The moon was almost full

And from that December moon

The lunar light bathed the landscape

So that light sparkled on the ice crystals

Creating a myriad of twinkling stars

To mimic their celestial cousins

As we stand beside the tree

I will take her in my arms

And kiss her tenderly
