TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 5

 

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the castle

Not a soul was stirring not even the rascal

And when the king returned from merrymaking

No one was awake to let him back in

ARE YOU WEARING CHRISTMAS SLIPPERS?

 

Are you wearing Christmas slippers?

They look very cute it must be said

But I think they’d look much cuter

If I was to see them under my bed

IF AN ELF IS WEARING EARMUFFS

 

If an Elf is wearing earmuffs

Call him anything you choose

Safe in the happy knowledge

That he can’t possibly hear you

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ONE CHRISTMAS

 

Based on an autobiographical short story by Truman Capote, this story is about Buddy (T.J. Lowther), an 8-year old boy who leaves Alabama in 1930 to go and live with his father (Henry Winkler) in New Orleans, and has a terrible time while he is there.
His father is a con man trying to raise money for his latest get rich quick scheme and prays on wealthy middle-aged women flattering his way into their cheque books and one of those frustrating his plans is matriarch Cornelia Beaumont (Katharine Hepburn) and as he faces one setback after another there is an uneasy relationship between father and son.

Henry Winkler puts in a fine dramatic performance, as he ranged from loving father, to con man, to angry and misunderstood outsider, Katharine Hepburn is a touch of class in her final performance and a brief appearance from Julie Harris is a glimmer of light.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 4

 

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the cottage

Was silence with the owners at home in Peas Pottage

So under cover of darkness at a very late hour

The cottage was torched by the Sons of Glendower

ARE YOU WEARING TINSEL?

 

Are you wearing tinsel?

Draped about your figure

Like a festive feather boa

Just covering your treasure

How seductive you appear

A little package of pleasure

You dance and prance

So full of vim and vigour

Now let me pull the tinsel

Then you can pull my trigger
