ARE YOU WEARING BLUE TINSEL?

 

Are you wearing blue tinsel?

Tied amidst your lustrous curls

Not a festive hue and yet

You have it amidst the curls

So is it a statement or was it

The only colour you could get

WHEN HE ONLY RECEIVED BATTERIES

 

When he only received batteries

His enthusiasm was muted

But there was a handwritten note

Which read “Toys not included”

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – FIR CRAZY (2013)

 

Elise MacReynolds (Sarah Lancaster) is no fan of Christmas because as she grew up on a Christmas tree farm it meant every holiday was spent selling Christmas trees on a cold street corner.

But when she loses her job and her dad breaks his leg, Elise agrees to run the family tree stand for one last season.

Unfortunately for Elise, the family business that has always hosted the MacReynolds' Farm tree lot has been acquired by home decor conglomerate “Brook Glen”.

Elise gets off on the wrong foot with surly Brook Glen CEO Gary Dixon (Colin Mochrie) when she almost knocks him down while unloading a big tree.

Gary thinks the trees are horrible for business and sets in motion a plan to get rid of the lot, for good, however despite her battles with Gary, Elise finds herself catching the holiday spirit as she helps the good citizens of New York City to find their one perfect tree:

Everyone from a couple with their first on the way, a professional basketball team, and a young boy picking out his first tree.

Christmas also proves to be the season for romance when charming repeat customer Darren Foster (Eric Johnson) admits he's been buying trees simply in the hopes of talking to Elise.
