THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – BABY IN A MANGER (2019)

 

Christmas is naturally all about a miracle baby, but when the Church is plunged into darkness during the service, nobody is expecting a real baby to appear in the manger of the Church nativity scene.

CPS agent Alison (Monica Knox) and Police Detective Brock (Michael Morrone) just happen to be in the Church at the time, but both of them instantly claim jurisdiction over the child and it was clear to everyone that it would take a miracle for them just to stop bickering.

The only thing they agreed about unreservedly was that the child’s welfare was paramount; unfortunately, they had different views of how best to achieve their goal.

So, it was up to Christmas to work its magic.


THE JINGLE OF SLEIGH BELLS

 

The Jingle of sleigh bells, herald

His coming on Christmas Eve

When Santa Claus takes the time

To fill our stocking and I believe

That Santa Claus thinks sincerely

It’s better to give than to receive

YULETIDE GATHERING

 

On the oak and iron studded door

There hung a wreath of yuletide

That was so pleasing to the eye

It seemed to welcome you inside

 

The hallway was lit with candles

Of every shape, size and hue

And tasteful Christmas decorations

Seemed to be constantly in view

 

Down the entire length of the stairs

Entwining the polished mahogany

Garlands of holly and evergreen

Filled the scene most sumptuously

 

The drawing room was minimalist

Each decoration chosen with care

The focal point was the mantelpiece

And the little stocking hanging there

 

In the corner stood a mighty tree

Festively decked in all its glory

But their was more to the gathering

Than just the Christmas story

 

Every face bore a relaxed smile

Such was the festive atmosphere

And so proud was the hostess

But not just for the festive cheer

 

For this was the first Christmas

For their newborn son and heir

And so proud was the mother

Of her newborn son so fair

BUT SOFTLY THE MYRIAD SNOW FLAKES FALL

 

But softly the myriad snow flakes fall

These infinite flakes of purest white

Like pure white down of angels wings

Floating gently from heavens height

 

But this is no heaven-sent delight

This thing of beauty that cruelly lingers

For harshly touched is the naked earth

When touched by winters icy fingers

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 136

 

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

I can’t wait till Christmas to eat some of that

Coz I’m on the Atkins diet and that’s a fact

I just hope that I don’t have a heart attack

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

When Jack Frost is abroad

And the Thanksgiving snow falls

When we hear the first sleigh bell’s ring

Christmas isn’t far away at all

So make those lists and join the throng

Of happy shoppers down at the mall
