CHRISTMAS TURKEY

 

Laid naked on the kitchen table

White flesh from leg to breast

A Christmas bird to be enjoyed

My table was truly blessed

 

I set about the job in hand

Getting the bird prepared

And by using all my expertise

No effort at all was spared

 

Having greased the old bird well

The meaty legs spread wide

And I began to stuff the bird

I was really in my stride

 

When the bird had been well stuffed

It lay resting on the cooker

Smelling of sage and onion

The bird really was a looker

 

Then I looked up at the kitchen clock

Panic filled me and I began to fret

I shouted to my wife “quick put you pants on”

Ii haven’t prepared the turkey yet

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 3

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the tent

The creatures were stirring with malicious intent

They wriggled and crawled they chewed and they bit

As they made themselves a festive feast of it

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY MANOR (2018)

 

As Christmas approaches, Elizabeth Bennett (Jessica Lowndes), a New York event planner, is sent to a small quaint town to organize their Christmas festival, only to find that the location is no longer usable.

So, she thinks that the grounds of nearby Pemberley Manor could be a possible substitute venue, but when she arrives, she finds William Darcy (Michael Rady), a high-profile billionaire in the process of selling the charming estate, totally devoid of holiday spirit.

Elizabeth is too determined to make her event a success to take no for an answer, so she persuades the reluctant grinch Darcy to let her hold the festival on the historical estate after all.

As a result, they end up working together to arrange the festivities, and the unlikely pair begin to fall for each other.

But when complications arise and the festival is unexpectedly cancelled, they part ways and Darcy pushes forward with his plans to sell the estate, and a wistful Elizabeth hopes for a Christmas miracle to revive the festival, save the estate and rekindle her Christmas romance.

ITS CHRISTMAS WHEN

 

Its Christmas when

Outside its cold and snowing

But away from the cold

Malls are full to overflowing

And all the children’s faces

Are happy and glowing

 

ITS CHRISTMAS when

Noddy Holder screams

Its Christmas when

Its time to fulfil dreams

When life just may be

As wonderful as it seems

 

Its Christmas when

All the gifts are picked

The cards are written

The stamps are licked

And all the Christmas lists

Have all been neatly ticked

 

Its Christmas when

All are safely home within

Everything has been prepared

The kiddies are all tucked in

Then mums and dads sit back

And festivities can begin

CHRISTMAS ACROSS THE SEA

 

I am of occidental origin

And I should make it clear

That I have lived all my life

In the northern hemisphere

 

And every year, except this one

I’ve spent Christmas in blighty

This year, I was invited to my daughters

I tried to decline, politely

 

She doesn’t live in Britain

But in the land of the kangaroo

Christmas day in high summer

Oh what an awful to-do

 

The hot sun was like the Grinch

Not a cloud in the sky since dawn

It ruined the day for me

And it made the eggnog warm

 

Flies buzzed round the turkey

My hat was stuck to my head

No queen’s speech on the telly

I wish I’d stayed home instead

CHRISTMAS FOLLY

 

Merriment abounds

And music fills the air

And in the cosy room

I’d hoped to see you there

 

Friends and loved ones

Surround me, old and new
I wished that one of them

Might have been you

 

Outside its cold

On this Christmas Eve
When the party's over

I won’t want to leave

 

But I will head home

Trudging through the snow

And in my loneliness

I’ll wonder how I let you go
