Merry Christmas
Yuletide friend
Cherished memories of
Heartfelt love and
Remembered moments
Instantly recalled
Special moments of
Time spent together
Merry Christmas’s
And happy new years
Special friend of mine
For me always
Remembering your smile
Instantly helps me
Each time I’m down at
Not being with you
Sarah Davis heads to her uncle's to escape New York and the spotlight
from a recent breakup. Returning home for the first time since her aunt passed,
complications arise when Graham, an entitled Hollywood star, arrives at the
ranch to prepare for his next film. As Sarah and Graham start to bond, Sarah
may get more for Christmas than she bargained for.
Sarah (Lindy Booth) is
an interior designed for a major hotel chain in Manhattan, and she's very good
at her job, in fact she gets a promotion just before Christmas.
But she is also
nursing a broken heart and that part that’s still intact is back in Colorado
where her Uncle and Aunt raised her and her brother Cody (Chris McNally) so she
takes a vacation back to the ranch and is upset by what she sees.
Her Uncle Roy (Treat
Williams), who lost his wife of many years some months before, had given up
celebrating the holidays and refused to decorate the house, no Christmas Parade
in the town, and no special tree lighting at the ranch.
Sarah is sympathetic
but decides almost at once that she and her brother Cody will try to make the
parade happen.
But then a famous entitled Hollywood star, Graham
(Kristoffer Polaha) arrives at the ranch to “learn the ropes” as he is
preparing for an upcoming movie.
Despite disliking him
at first sight Sarah soon starts Graham's instruction and soon begins to warm
to him, and he to her, and she finds he is a valuable helper with the parade, and she gets more for
Christmas than she bargained for, but can
he help her to save the struggling ranch from being sold?
This is a lovely movie
with a sweet, predictable story, a great cast, beautiful scenery and
unashamedly full of Christmas happiness.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia
plena.
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris,
Ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria.
(Some versions add the following)
Ave Maria, Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ora, ora pro nobis;
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis,
In hora mortis nostrae.
In hora, hora mortis nostrae,
In hora mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria
This Christmas Time
When you celebrate the day
With friends and family
Good spirits on display
When your dining table
Is full to overflowing
Everyone cosily warm
With the firelight glowing
And you sit in your armchair
With your waist band straining
Opening all the presents
When outside its cold and raining
When you have over indulged
To the point of gluttony
Take a moment to think
About the all too many
Spare a thought for the needy
For the tired and the weary
Or those who are just lonely
The cold and the hungry
The numerous homeless
The defenceless and the helpless
Enjoy this Christmas Time a lot
But think of those who cannot
Chestnuts roasting in the fire
The smell of cinnamon in the air
I watched a snow flake melt
On her beautiful auburn hair
As we held hands in the soft light
Of the Christmas candle glow
And I kissed my first love

Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard
on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this
jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
See Him in a manger
laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.
