COOL YULE

 

Last day of school,

Kids say “that’s cool”

Angel’s wings

Shepherd brings

Presents for Jesus

Rudolf sneezes

Everything is frosting over

Even my car made by “Rover”

Reindeer fly

But I can’t fly

But I have cream on my

Hot mince pie

But I still get a lift

When I get a gift

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A MAJESTIC CHRISTMAS (2018)

 

Architect Nell (Jerrika Hinton) goes back to her charming home town of Briar Falls, having been given the job of turning the historic Majestic Playhouse into a modern multiplex, much to the locals' displeasure.

The Playhouse Theatre has been home to their annual Christmas tableaux, which will have to end after a long and historic tradition when the remodelling is complete.

This job is Nell's first promotion, and one she wishes she hadn't been chosen for, especially when she meets the new owner of the theatre, Connor (Christian Vincent), whose vision and ideas clash with Nell's, but there are sparks of a different kid as well.

So as Connor hasn't had much experience celebrating a traditional Christmas, Nell hopes that if she can give him a crash course on all things Christmas during the town's Twelve Day Festival then she might get him to change his mind about modernizing the Majestic.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS CAROL # 15 - SUPERNATURAL

 

SUPERNATURAL

Written by Julia A'Bell, David Wakerley & Beci Wakerley

 

Verse 1
These are the days when
We can see miracles
Your wonders everywhere
Here is my life Lord
You can use me
To show the world You care

Pre-Chorus
You made me, You saved me Lord
You called me, and gave me Jesus

Chorus
Supernatural, supernatural God
All things are possible
Supernatural, supernatural God
I'm gonna praise You

Verse 2
You are my healer
And my salvation, thank you for your grace
Your name is higher
Than any other, greatly to be praised

(Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus)

Bridge
We can see miracles
We can see miracles

I know that technically this is not a Christmas Carol but we always sing it in our Church at Christmas.

HOOK

 

There is something puzzling me

As it doesn’t say in the book

Before his hand was taken

What did they call captain hook

 

It’s a difficult one to answer

Maybe he was evil captain fist

Or was he called captain two hands

Not really a very menacing list

 

And was it simply irony, mere chance

Or was his accident planned

For if not for the crocodile

He would have remained a deck hand

CHRISTMAS CANDLE

 

Candle light of beauty

Adorning church and alter

None excluded from Christ’s love

Darkness brightly conquered

Light of Christ illuminating

Everlasting light of life
