It’s Christmas day in the workhouse
Just another grey day
to endure
If we’re lucky we’ll
dine on mouse
And Oliver will still
be asking for more

My worst Christmas present ever
Was when I got an
empty carton
All dog-eared and
flattened out
Really tatty and
really not fun
When I complained to
my dad
And declared it worse
than socks
He said I should be
more grateful
To receive my very own
ex-box
To make things so much
worse
My dad thought it was
quite nifty
If you then spun the
box around
To make an ex-box 360
I really love Crimbletide
It makes me all warm
inside
And the joy I cannot
hide
For the season of
Crimbletide
This is the story of
Good Samaritan Sarah Fitzpatrick (Lindsey Gort) who has a fatal accident just
before Christmas, and finds herself in the “lobby” within touching distance of
the gates of Heaven where she meets Daphne (Kathleen Rose Perkins), who is St Peters
successor, who has some unwelcome news for her.
Having walked the
Christian path and lead a good life Sarah is certain that she will be let in,
but she is shocked to find out that her name is not on the reservation list,
and as she was not “Good” enough the enter and too “Good” for the other place
she seems destined for an eternity in purgatory.
However, she is
granted the chance to return to Earth as an “angel in training” with the
requirement to help a soul in need.
The needy soul we find
out is her ex-boyfriend Jordan (Derek Theler) who she broke up with on
Christmas Eve a year prior to her own passing.
Sarah has the 12 days before Christmas to secure her place on the list to enter
heaven by making Jordan move on and begin a new life with Amanda and her son
Mason (Melanie Liburd and Caleel Harris).
Jeremy Luke puts in a
very creditable performance as Jordan’s friend Stuart in this is a very
enjoyable film which I would readily recommend, even though it has a really
dumb ending.
It’s Christmas Eve in the workhouse,
And
not a hint of the seasons in sight
No
stockings hang by the fire side
They’ll
be no treats in store tonight
My very worst Christmas ever
Was when I got an
empty carton
All dog-eared and
flattened out
For hours of innocent
ex-box fun
My worst Christmas present ever
I thought I would be
lucky to receive
It was big and so full
of possibilities
But it really
flattered to deceive
Beneath the coloured
paper
That hinted at hidden
promise
It turned out to be a
cardboard box
Containing only
emptiness
My mum was watching me
intently
And my disappointment
hurt her
My cheapskate dad then
told me
It was an Action Man
deserter
