I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MY SANTA # 2

 

I've always loved my Santa

In his red Santa hat

With his cheerful demeanour

All hearty and fat

With his belly that wobbles

Like a bowl full of jelly

And he loves his naughty

Little Miss Nelly

WARM MEMORIES OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON

 

Warm memories

Of the holiday season

Moments of joy‚

To be forever treasured

Prayers of peace

One day to be answered

These are the gifts

I wish for us all

GRANMA JOY

I have happy memories to cherish

At my Grans when I was a boy

Her heart was so full of love

She filled the house with joy

Garlands, Balloons and bells

Hung from every beam and rafter

She made it joyful for us all

The house rang with her laughter

It was such a joyous time

I wish I could cross the years

To once more see her smile

Just thinking about her cheers


THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (2015)

 

Hannah Dunbar (Lacey Chabert) is a successful TV Anchor-woman, but after winning a major promotion to the New York bureau, finds herself wondering what her life would have been had she stayed with the love of her life, Ben Matthews (Tyron Leitso), who she left behind in their home town 10 years before.

After talking to a Salvation Army Santa Claus (Keith MacKechnie) who takes her words as a Christmas wish he transports her to a version of her life where she and Ben where married with a family, Caitlin and Hailie (Milli Wilkinson and Audrey Smallman). Hannah literally becomes a mother overnight and has to navigate the day-to-day challenges of life in the suburbs with Ben and their daughters with comical effect, while simultaneously trying to figure out how to get back or if that’s actually what she wants.

Lacey Chabert is excellent in the lead in this enjoyable and engaging Christmas treat.

WITH EXPECTANT FACES FULL OF SMILES

With expectant faces full of smiles

The children sit around the tree

Waiting to get amongst the gifts

And wondering “What’s Santa got for me”

 

Eagerly the children sit by the tree

Their expectant smiling faces all aglow

Waiting to get amongst the gifts

On the moment when Nan says “go”

FAMILY CHRISTMASES

 

When I think back to those Christmases

I and my brothers and sisters shared

And all the love that filled the house

When no other time quite compared


I realized just how lucky we all were

Lucky we had a family that truly cared

Who gave us love and now that I am older 

I make sure that love is liberally shared

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MY SANTA # 1

 

I've always loved my Santa

In his Red Velvet suit

With his long white beard

And cheeks all rosy and cute

His deep throated laughter

All happy and jolly

And he loves his naughty

Little Miss Molly
