CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE WORKHOUSE # 1

 

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 # 2

 

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

CRIMBLETIDE

 

I really love Crimbletide

It makes me all warm inside

And the joy I cannot hide

For the season of Crimbletide

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A MISSION FOR CHRISTMAS

 

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.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE WORKHOUSE # 1

 

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

 

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 # 1

 

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
