OH MY PRETTY LITTLE ELFIN FACED GIRL (PART ONE)

Oh my pretty little elfin faced girl

In green woolly tights and pixie shoes

I’ve admired you from a distance

Where your smile melts away my blues


I watched you bloom in the spring

And bask in the warm summer glow

Then dressed in russet colours of autumn

And all the year I’ve felt my love grow


Now winter is here and Christmas is near

Oh how I long to kiss your sweet lips so

Oh my pretty little elfin faced girl

I pray I meet you beneath the mistletoe


CAROLS BY CANDLE LIGHT

Christmas is a time

Of many traditions

Like carol singing

With candle lit processions


But not anymore

A years old tradition

Has to had to go

For fear of litigation


“Health and safety”

So gets on my wick

As this year we had

Carols by glow stick


THE LITTLE CHRISTINGLE GIRL

 Oh sweet little Christingle girl

Your daddy is so very far away

“Bring my daddy safely home”

These are the words you pray


Oh sweet little Christingle girl

Daddy is away at the war

“Bring my daddy safely home

Bring him safely to our door”


Oh sweet little Christingle girl

How she misses daddy far away

How sad she is, he won’t be home

To be with them on Christmas day


At Sunday school she made a christingle 

She took an orange to represent the world.

And to symbolize the blood Christ shed

She took the red ribbon from her curls


Then she decorated four tooth picks 

With fruits and sweets and marshmallows

These she placed in the four corners

To represented all the earthly souls


Then finally in the centre of the orange

She stood a single candle of purest white

And when lit, the candle represented

The world filled with Christ’s loving light


The sweet little Christingle girl

Took it home with her that day

And stood it in the window

So daddy would find his way


And the sweet little Christingle girl

With her daddy so very far away

Knew that when he did come home

That would be their Christmas day

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ITS TIME FOR ME TO COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (2018)

Since her mother's passing Cara Hill (Megan Park) faces a bittersweet Christmas as she sets off to fly home to Oklahoma.

At the airport she meets country singer Heath Sawyer (Josh Henderson), who is also facing a tough holiday following his father's death, but he doesn't acknowledge his fame, so Cara feels duped when two attractive women rush him for autographs.

Although the weather keeps thwarting their progress, Cara and Heath stick together as they head toward their separate Christmases together, and they grow close along the way.

But there is more than weather to contend with and it looks like it might take a Christmas miracle for this couple to find harmony.

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

What would you call a man?

With a big belly and no dress sense

Who never replies to your letters

A man that’s too lazy to shave

And is obsessed with stockings,

Who can only be relied upon for one day a year

Will never stop to ask for directions

A man who only owns one suit

Never gets you the present you asked for

And needs to be rewarded with food and drink

Oh and always leaves the dirty dishes

Well what do you think? Could be any man alive eh?

So what would you call this man?

I would call him Santa


CHRISTMAS GOOSE

At Christmas time

I do like a goose

It is my one weakness

And I offer no excuse


Though it does depend

Of course on the bird

To say any different

Would be quite absurd


The quality of goose

That you are executing

Is directly related

To the bird you are goosing
