You look upon Christmas
As just another of
your duties
And over the years
You’ve given us some
beauties
You don’t think that
it’s Special
It’s just something
that you do
But Christmas doesn’t
just happen
It’s made piece by
piece by you
Everything that is Christmas
When all said and done
Is completely down to
you
Don’t think we haven’t noticed
Just because we
haven’t said
But we know that
compliments
Are something that you
dread
You’ve made a perfect
Christmas
With your own fair
hands
You thought of every
detail
In your carefully made
plans
We’ve enjoyed every
moment
All the festivities
and fun
So although you’ll be
embarrassed
Thanks for Christmas

Me and Luke is the heart-warming story about a young father, Matt Blessing (Kristopher Turner), and his reluctance to give up his new born son.
Matt is only nineteen
and when he goes to the hospital to see his baby he discovers that his young
girlfriend, Megan Eubanks (Emma Taylor-Isherwood), has already made arrangements
for a couple to the adopt their baby boy.
Matt has no family in
his life as his father left when he was seven and he had an estranged
relationship with his mother, Lisa (Carolyn Dunn).
But when he sees Luke
for the first time, like fathers the world over, he falls in love with him, and
he finally feels that family connection that he'd longed for.
With no means to stop
the imminent adoption Matt takes Luke out of the hospital to his grandmother's
house.
He hasn’t seen Glennie
(Louise Fletcher) since he was a small boy when his mother and grandmother
parted on bad terms.
Nonetheless the three
form a family unit of sorts and along with Glennie’s friend, Bert (Jack
Shepherd) they fight to stay together as a family.
The bauble and the bell
The tinsel star as
well
The angel with its
wings
The shepherds and the
Kings
The tree’s coloured
lights
The tinsel sparkling
bright
The garlands hanging
high
So, pleasing to the
eye
These are the things
That Christmas time
brings
The best presents cannot be bought
There is no mall where
they can be sought
But if you have
sufficiently striven
The best present can
be easily given
It resides in you,
channelled from above
That most wondrous
gift of eternal love
Leading up to Christmas day
Happy Christmas you
should say
But so often it goes
unsaid,
People say happy
holidays instead
A severely stressed out lawyer and mother of three, Sophie (Lea Thompson), gets her yuletide wish granted by an unlikely mall Santa (Doug Abrahams) after running into Marcia (Rachel Hayward) an old college friend who is single, successful and gorgeous.
When Santa asked her
what she wanted for Christmas she pointed at Marcia and said that she wanted
her life.
So she was given the
chance to see what her life would be like if she had chosen to pursue her
career in Law rather than marrying and becoming a working mother.
At first she enjoys
the glamour and luxury of her alternative life but Sophie soon comes to realise
what is really important to her, the problem is that she doesn’t know how to
get back to it.
