MY BROTHER WAS FIVE YEARS MY SENIOR
My brother was five years my senior
So
he always led me astray
He
took me on a hunt every December
Leading
up to Christmas day
To
find the presents that mum and dad
Had
cunningly stashed away
WE ALL PLAYED CHARADES
We all played Charades
At the in laws on Boxing Day
My wife’s Uncle Jack
Really went for it I must say
We were really impressed
By his energetic display
It was ten minutes before we knew
His heart had given way

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS WITH A PRINCE (2018)
Dedicated Paediatric specialist Tasha Miller (Kaitlyn Leeb) is interested in only one thing, the welfare of the children under her care.
But her world is turned upside down when the
handsome Prince Alexander Cavalieri (Nick Hounslow) breaks his leg on a
nearby ski-slope.
Tasha is manipulated by a combination of her
half-brother Nurse Jeff (Josh Dean), Chief of Medicine Dr. Gonzales (Lanette Ware) and King
Edward (Charles Shaughnessy) into allowing him to secretly recover
on her floor.
Initially she is furious that a spoiled Royal
is interrupting the routine, however she soon learns that some tough love and a
lot of Christmas spirit might turn the royal pain into a knight in shining
armour.
ON CHRISTMAS DAY 1971
The Worst hotel fire in history killed 163 people at the Taeyokale Hotel in the South Korean capital Seoul.
THE NOT SO GREAT WAR
“Your country needs you,” said Kitchener
You’re needed to fight them over there
“It
will be over by Christmas,” they said
But it was just getting started instead
In the cold trenches on Christmas morn
The guns remained silent after the dawn
Soon forgetting the horrendous conditions
Men began emerging from their positions
The opposing soldiers met in no mans land
Then smiled and shook their enemies hand
Briefly at peace both sides felt regrets
Then they exchanged gifts of cigarettes
A day without a single shot fired at all
They even got to play a game of football
Sadly the men returned their own way
They began killing again on Boxing Day
DO YOU KNOW WHY THE CHRISTMAS ALPHABET
Do you know why the Christmas alphabet
Is
one letter short? Then I will happily tell
There
are only twenty-five letters in it
Because
the Christmas alphabet has Noel
