THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A NANNY FOR CHRISTMAS (2010)

 

Smart young career woman Ally (Emmanuelle Vaugier) needs a new job and she thinks she has found one when Samantha (Cynthia Gibb) a busy Beverly Hills advertising executive/mom offers her a position.

Danny Donner (Dean Cain) is the tough-guy owner of a chocolate company who wants a major ad campaign immediately and Samantha’s firm is given the job and it turned out that what she needed was a Nanny to her two well-mannered kids to give her the time to work on it.

Although Ally was disappointed, she takes the job and finds that she needs to put some fun in the children’s lives while working on some ideas for the campaign herself in her spare time.

The events that follow lead to the Christmas that changes everyone's worlds forever.

Sierra McCormick and Jared Gilmore play the children, Sarah Thompson plays Ally’s friend and Richard Ruccolo provides the romantic interest in this delightful comedy of little white lies, holiday wishes, and a young woman who finds love in the most unexpected place by becoming A Nanny for Christmas.

SANTA’S SLEIGH BROKE DOWN

 

Santa’s sleigh broke down

So, he stopped a passing motorist

Who offered to give him a toe

But then he was a Chiropodist

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.
