Santa’s sleigh broke down
So, he stopped a passing motorist
Who offered to give him a toe
But then he was a Chiropodist

SANTA’S SLEIGH BROKE DOWN
CHRISTMAS CANDLES – A SIGNAL
The placing of lighted candles in the windows in England harks back to a time when the Catholic religion was banned.
A lighted candle would be placed in the window of a Catholic family as a signal that it was safe for a priest to come into their home to celebrate Mass.SHE SAID SHE FELT SO HELPLESSLY ALONE
She said she felt so helplessly alone
Like
a lonely candle flickering in the dark
Then
on the day when I came into her life
She
said there was a discernable spark
And
as if by a kind of magic, hey presto
We were instantly two
candles in the dark
IN THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE
In the Christmas village
At
the North Pole
There
is much excitement
Being
kept under control
As
there is to be an election
For
every Elf and Troll
Votes
can of course be cast
At
the North Poll
IF YOU PUT CANDY CANES ON THE TREE
If you put Candy canes on the tree
And
Popcorn on strings
Then
let me give the kind of advice
That
experience brings
Don’t
pack them away after the
Bell
of New Year rings
Otherwise,
next year they will be
Seriously
unsavory things
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CALL ME CLAUS (2001)
Lucy Cullins Whoopi Goldberg, a very successful, but an even crankier producer at a home shopping network, who hires an actor named Nick (Nigel Hawthorne) to play Santa Claus on the network she gets a lot more than she bargained for because Nick really is Santa Claus.
The twist in the tale of this fun Christmas
offering is that he faces mandatory retirement after 200 years in the red suit
and he must find his replacement by Christmas Eve and Lucy is his number one
choice.
She is however very reluctant and if he fails
to convince her then the world will face dire consequences.
A really fun film and inspired casting to
have a black woman Santa Claus.

EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL - FROSTY
Every year without fail
On
Christmas Eve
It
would appear
And
we children
Would
squeal out
A
deafening cheer
When
the source
Of
our excitement
Was
carefully set down
And
we would sit
In
our clean pajama’s
And
dressing gown
And
stare at the object
Open
mouthed
In
gleeful expectation
Of
what was beneath
The
cotton wool and
Crepe
paper creation
We
would have to wait
The
longest time
In
anticipation
But
it was worth it
Too
see inside the belly
Of
Frosty’s incarnation
And
when we thought
We
could wait no longer
We
all jumped to our feet
As
Dad slowly removed
The
carrot faced head
And
revealed the treats
And
as Dad gave Frosty
A
little shake, out spilled
The
Christmas sweets
