THERE’S NO BETTER TIME THAN CHRISTMAS

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

When we celebrate his birth

In the sanctuary of a candlelit church

We rejoice for all we’re worth

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

To look beneath ageing skin

Of any of the old souls in the season

And still find a child within

 

There’s no better time than Christmas

I’ve always believed it to be so

When we remember Christ the saviour

Born two thousand years ago

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A VERY NUTTY CHRISTMAS (2018)

 

Kate Holiday (Melissa Joan Hart) is a workaholic baker who has given up on Christmas after her boyfriend dumped her.

So aided by her staff, Rosa and Justin (Marissa Jaret Winokur and Rizwan Manji) she throws herself into work as there is an order of 12,000 cookies to fill before Christmas.

However, after meeting a Christmas trader, Drosselmeyer (Richard Riehle), she is given a magic nutcracker who turns into a real man, Chip (Barry Watson), who makes the once cynical Kate understand the magic and beauty of Christmas.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 10

 

Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was pissed,

He was so drunk in fact he couldn’t read the list

So the toys for the nice kids never left the north pole

And they all ended up with a big piece of coal

THE VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS

 

Putting up the decorations

And trimming the Christmas tree

Writing all the cards

This year from you and me

 

Your presents are wrapped

Only bows and tags to do

Until this moment I didn’t know

Just how much I loved you

 

So, I will have a happy Christmas

With the love of my life

The very first Christmas

Since we became man and wife

OLD YEARS NIGHT

 

My wife is an optimist

Which is why, she stays up

On New Year’s Eve

To see in the new one

 

I am by nature a pessimist

Which means, that I stay up

On New Year’s Eve

To make sure the old one has gone

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – HOMEGROWN CHRISTMAS (2018)

Maddie Finley (Lori Loughlin) has just sold the highly successful New York based company she built from the ground, Madd Shoes, and finds she has no idea what is next in her life.

So, she accepts the invitation of her mother, Peg (Gwynyth Walsh) to return home to her small hometown of Claremont for an extended Christmas.

Which would be the longest time in Claremont since she moved to New York seventeen years earlier, and relationships are strained with those she left behind, not least her old high school sweetheart Carter (Victor Webster), who it seems she cannot avoid running into, and tensions quickly arise.

However, when forced to put together a Christmas dance for the local high school, Carter and Maddie find themselves putting their differences aside and rediscover what made them fall in love all those years before. 

CHRISTMAS DAY IS ALMOST HERE

 

Christmas day is almost here

The time of year

I hold so dear

 

When to tradition we must adhere

When to every ear

We are sincere

 

A time of goodwill and cheer

A time to care

A time to share

 

Christmas is when we banish fear

Keep close those near

And those dear

 

Christmas day is almost here

The time of year

When we revere
