ARE YOU WEARING RED VELVET?

 

Are you wearing red velvet?

That’s really nice to see

And so, fitting for the season

It makes me feel so Christmassy

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

 

Christmas with the Krazies 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.

RUBY THE RED NOSED BIMBO

Ruby the red nosed bimbo

Had a very strawberry nose

And if you ever saw her

You would even say it glows

 

All of the other bimbos 

Used to laugh and call her names. 

They never let poor Ruby 

Join in any bimbo games. 

Then one lonely Christmas Eve 

Someone came to play: 

Ruby with your nose so bright

Let me grab your tits tonight

 

Then all the fellas loved her

As they shouted out with glee, 

Ruby the red-nosed bimbo

You can now go down on me!

CHRISTINGLE MINGLE

 

It is the season that makes my senses tingle

The time of year when the sleigh bells jingle

And we come together for the Christingle mingle

When the Clauses and the Grinches intermingle

And happy clappy’s and traditionalists comingle

As we celebrate the service of Christingle

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY (2006)

 

Kevin (Jay Mohr) tries desperately to be involved with his son Ben (Logan Grove) and ex-wife Jill (Daphne Zuniga), even if it means spending Christmas with her parents, Trudi and Arthur (Adrienne Barbeau and Tim Thomerson), who loathe him, and Granny Conlon (Ruta Lee) who likes him a little too much.

But what he hadn’t bargained on was the double whammy of sharing the day with Jill’s new boyfriend Todd (David Millbern) or the fact that the only road out of Town was blocked by a boulder.

But he could have coped with all of that for one day, but during dinner his son Ben suddenly wished that it was Christmas every day, and from then on in true Groundhog Day tradition Kevin was forced to relive Christmas Day over and over again until he gets it right.
