A lovely lady, Holly Khun (Brooke D'Orsay), who is nicknamed “Miss Christmas,” is the official tree finder for Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting.

But after that year’s tree is accidentally damaged during the preparation for transport she is left desperate to find the perfect tree to replace it at the last minute.

Holly is on the brink of giving up she reads a letter from a young boy Joey McNary (Luke Roessler) promising that his tree is perfect and encloses a photograph to prove it, which is enough to send her to the small town of Claus.

She manages to track down where Joey lives and meets the rest of the family but she discovers that Joey’s father, Sam (Marc Blucas) is unwilling to part with his tree.

Holly is under tremendous pressure from her boss, who tells her not to bother going back without the tree, but while she tries to get everyone on board she finds herself becoming more interested in Sam than the tree.

SNOWMAN BLUES

Out of the snowy lawn

The snowman grew

Wearing a hat and scarf

The way that you do

 

With pebbles for eyes

Pressed into the snow

A smiley twig mouth

And a large carrot nose

 

He’s a magnificent site

The snowman that grew

But he’s just snow and ice

And no substitute for you

 

I wish you were here

To chase the blues away

I wish you’d come back

To me for Christmas day

CHRISTMAS IS A TIME OF JOY

Christmas is a time of joy

For every little girl and boy

All wishing for that special toy

That they can’t wait to enjoy

 

Christmas is a time of love

Given to us from the lord above

When we see with eyes of a dove

Christmas fits us like a glove

 

Christmas is a time for prayer

Christmas is a time to share

Christmas is a time to care

It’s also the time for festive fare

 

Christmas time is a special thing

A time to worship Christ the king

In his honour gifts we bring

And to the heavens high we sing

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS CAROL # 21 - GOOD REST YE MERR...

God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman

 

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's powers
When we were gone astray
Glad tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Glad tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

"Fear not then," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

THROW AWAY CHRISTMAS

Cards adorned with Robins and snow

Holly sprigs and festive candle glow

Advent calendar and paper chains

Decorations never to be used again

Ribbons and bows and paper wrapping

With tree and wreath all go in the bin

Though Christmas may be throw away

The love can be recycled every day
