A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol was the first of the Christmas novellas by Charles Dickens, first published on 19 December 1843.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 32 - I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

 

I’ll be home for Christmas

Written By Walter Kent; Buck Ram, Kim Gannon

Performed By Frank Sinatra

 

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – RUNAWAY CHRISTMAS BRIDE (2017)

 

Kate Paulson (Cindy Busby) has stood at the altar, and said, “I do” to the man of her dreams, Alex Atkins (Mark Milburn) but soon after they exchanged vows, Alex revealed a devastating family secret, about a secret trust fund triggered by their wedding.

Hurt and shocked by this betrayal, Kate has no choice but to leave the groom at the church and run away.

Needing time to heal, Kate heads to ski resort where she was to have her honeymoon and stay over Christmas.

However, at the resort she meets Jason (Travis Milne), a former Olympic downhill ski hopeful, and as they get to know each other there is a mutual attraction and she falls for him just when she thought she'd never love again.

But as things start to heat up between them, bridegroom Alex and his family show up followed by her family and that’s when things get complicated and the fun starts in earnest.

 

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 34 - MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

 

Mary, Did You Know?

Words by Mark Lowry
Music by Buddy Greene
Sung by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd

Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
Has come to make you new;
This Child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
Has walked where Angels trod?
When you kiss your Little Baby,
You kiss the Face of God!

Oh, Mary, did you know?
Oh, Mary, did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear,
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb!

Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy

Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
Is Heaven's Perfect Lamb?
This sleeping Child you're holding

Is the Great I Am!
