A HAND FOR SANTA

 

On Christmas Eve

Don’t lay awake in bed

All you naughty girls

Blonde, brunette or red

For instead of presents

You may get a shock instead

You may catch Santa

Dressed in his suit of red

Emptying his sack

At the end of your bed

CHIMNEY NOOK

 

The next time you complain

At the lack of Christmas nookey

Spare a thought for old St Nick

And have a little sympathy

For he only comes but once a year

And then he’s up a chimney

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS SOLO (2017)

 

“Christmas Solo” is set in a small town where two single parents, Vet Jennifer (Kelli Williams), who is new in town, and bespoke furniture maker, Nate (Jonathan Scarfe), stumble into the possibility of love for Christmas, only to discover that their daughters Charlotte and Melissa (Pippa Mackie and Kayla Wallace) are embroiled in a rivalry at school as they compete for the Christmas Solo at the Christmas Festival.

When the rivalry gets out of control and Charlotte is on the wrong end of some nasty pranks things come to a head and the parents and the school get involved, but will that lead everyone to a peaceful and merry Christmas?

An enjoyable tale of teenage angst and mature courtship, beautiful music and perfect friendships.

Alistair Abell stars as Nates brother, Pete, Ricky He and Naika Toussaint as Charlotte’s friends Henry and Audrey, and Natalie von Rotsburg as music teacher Ms. Baxter.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 11- Keeping The Dream Alive

 

Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favorites.

Without exception all my choices not only include the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular order here is my eleventh selection.

 

“Keeping The Dream Alive” music written by Stefan Zauner and Aron Strobel and Lyrics by Tim Touchton and Curtis Briggs performed by Freiheit

 

Tonight the rain is falling 
Full of memories of people and places 
And while the past is calling 
In my fantasy I remember their faces 

The hopes we had were much too high 
Way out of reach but we had to try 
The game will never be over 
Because we're keeping the dream alive 

I hear myself recalling 
Things you said to me 
The night it all started 
And still the rain is falling 
Makes me feel the way 
I felt when we parted 

The hopes we had were much too high 
Way out of reach but we have to try 
No need to hide no need to run 
'Cause all the answers come one by one 
The game will never be over 
Because we're keeping the dream alive 

I need you 
I love you 

The game will never be over 
Because we're keeping the dream alive 

The hopes we had were much too high 
Way out of reach but we had to try 
No need to hide no need to run 
'Cause all the answers come one by one 

The hopes we had were much too high 
Way out of reach but we had to try 
No need to hide no need to run 
'Cause all the answers come one by one 

The game will never be over 
Because we're keeping the dream alive 

The game will never be over 
Because we're keeping the dream alive 

The game will never be over

SUPERSTITIOUSLY WHITE CHRISTMAS

 

If on Christmas day

Snow fall is seen

Then come Easter

Everywhere be green

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.
