OH GOD TO YOU WE PRAY

 

Oh God to you we pray

To let peace on earth come our way

Oh God to you we pray

Would that we could have our way

Oh God grant this day

That peace on earth will come our way

Oh God we hear you say

That peace on earth will come our way

If we could from this day

Just live Christmas every day

 

Inspired by Helen Steiner Rice (1900-1981)

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A DOGWALKER'S CHRISTMAS TALE (2015)

 

Luce Lockhart (Lexi Giovagnoli) is a spoiled 21-year old college student from a comfortable background, but she is forced to take a job over the holidays walking a rich developer's dog, and she is thrilled to discover they are going to build a salon and spa over the quaint local dog park nearby.

But when Luce visits the park to walk the dog she meets Dean Stanton (Jonathan Bennett), an irritating yet handsome dog walker who is actively trying to stop them, Luce is forced to question what the park means to her newfound friends, and whether she can put aside her selfish ways to help save the park before Christmas.

Dina Meyer and Patrick Muldoon star as the developers.


LAST CHRISTMAS

 

Last Christmas

We got the winter vomiting virus

It wasn’t nice

And it was shared by all of us

It was the worst

We didn’t see much Christmas cheer

I tell you one thing

We’ve just asked for money this year

 

THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL

 

The Christmas Angel comes each year

To spread around the Christmas cheer

Though the angels seldom appear

They are still there so do not fear

And listening with the keenest ear

You will never ever be able to hear

The Christmas angel standing near

But she will look over those near and dear

As she spreads around the Christmas cheer

Then the heavenly presence we revere

Twill be gone again until next year

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw him

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Laugh and call him awful names

And they leave poor Rudolph

To play his little snorting games


So on every Christmas Eve

Santa’s heard to say: 

If you give up the cocaine

You might pull may sleigh again

 

But all the reindeer knew him

And his love for nose candy

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Santa’s little coke junkie

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ROAD TO CHRISTMAS (2018)

Maggie Baker (Jessy Schram) is a TV producer who is producing the Christmas Special for TV cook Julie Wise (Teryl Rothery) for the 5th year in a row.

But because the latest show is going out live the network bosses force her to co-producer with a former producer, one of Julie's sons, Danny (Chad Michael Murray).

Initially, she's not too happy about it but they come up with a plan to record Christmas segments for the show all across the country during which she gets to know Danny and meets his brothers David and Derek (Jeff Gonek and Cardi Wong) and because Christmas brings friends and families together she makes it her mission to reunite all three siblings with their mother for Christmas during the Christmas special.

SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT

Silent night, holy night

Such a sweet carol

Neither rousing nor stirring

But moving and inspiring

A carol to unite in adoration

A song to touch the soul

Poignant and joyous

Holy music at its most powerful

Simple and unpretentious
