WHAT DOES RUDOLF CALL HIS WIFE?

 

What does Rudolf call his wife?

Is that the question that I hear?

I would have thought it obvious

That he would call her Deer

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS BOX (1995)

 

Richard Evans (Richard Thomas) a struggling ski-shop owner reluctantly moves himself, his wife Keri (Annette O'Toole) and his daughter Jenna (Kelsey Mulrooney) in to an old estate as live-in help for an elderly widow, Mary Parkin (Maureen O'Hara).

While he struggles to balance his career and family life, he has recurring dreams about an angel.

The relationship between Keri, Jenna and Mrs Parkin is very revealing and the moment of the tree decorating is particularly heart-warming but it’s her interactions with Richard that exposes the secrets and sadness of her past.

This is a great holiday film with a classy performance from Maureen O'Hara and Richard Thomas puts in a gem of a performance.

WHEN HE ONLY RECEIVED BATTERIES

 

When he only received batteries

His enthusiasm was muted

But there was a handwritten note

Which read “Toys not included”

SANTA HAS HIS WORKSHOP

 

Santa has his workshop

Up in Lapland

But the Sleeping Reindeer

Go to napland

RUDOLPH GOT AN F

 

Rudolph got an F in his exam

Which was a mystery

But after his paper was remarked

He went down in History

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE (2006)

 

Santa Claus (Tim Allen) had problems, it was only a few days before Christmas and production was lagging, Mrs. Claus (Elizabeth Mitchell) was about to give birth to their first child and wanted family time, and the Counsel of Legendary Figures had called an emergency meeting to discuss Jack Frost (Martin Short) and at the end of the meeting he is left with Santa, on probation and under his supervision.

To appease his wife, he flew her parents (Alan Arkin and Ann-Margret) up to the North Pole but had to pretend to them that they were in Canada.

He also brings his ex-wife Laura (Wendy Crewson), her husband Neil (Judge Reinhold), and their daughter Lucy (Liliana Mumy) to surround his wife with family.

But while Santa is busy with the family Jack makes mischief inside the toy factory and hatches a plan to become Santa and with Santa juggling so many things, he manages to trick him into invoking the little-known Escape Clause and wish he'd never become Santa.

DOB?

 

In Rome a monk living about 530 AD

                   A mathematician and an astronomer

Was given the task of calculating

                   And reforming the Christian calendar

In essence to pinpoint with all precision

                   The date of Jesus Christ’s birth exactly

A miscalculation was discovered later

                   He was four years out unfortunately

Christ was born on January the sixth 

                   According to the scholarly Egyptians

The date of Christ’s death was thought

                   More important to the early Christians

Rome selected Christ’s birth date to be

                   On the twenty fifth day of December

To coincide with the old pagan festivals

                   Like that of Mithras and Saturnalia

The sixth of January is Christmas day

                   For the apostolic church from Armenia

But its the following day that’s Special

                   For the Orthodox Church of Russia
