TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 25

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Hamlet

Not a creature was stirring

But no need to fret

They were at midnight mass

And hadn’t returned yet

From the Church in town

Where they were well met

THE FAMILIAR SHOUT AT A PANTOMIME

 

The familiar shout at a pantomime

Is “it’s behind you”

But if the actor is a former great

We shout “it’s beneath you”

IN SANTA’S VILLAGE AT THE NORTH POLE

 

In Santa’s village at the north pole

They watch a lot of Christmas TV

Christmas movies are most popular

Watched on Yule tube obviously

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – SILENT NIGHT (2002)

 

In the bitter winter of 1944 in the depths of the Ardennes Forest, a German Mother, Elisabeth Vincken (Linda Hamilton) and her son Fritz (Matthew Harbour) are seeking refuge in a remote cabin in the woods, which is unfortunately now right on the front line.

They had barely settled in when they are joined, against their will, by three American soldiers one of whom is wounded and then tensions rise when three German soldiers also arrive, Elisabeth successfully convinces the soldiers to put aside their differences for one evening so they can share a Christmas Eve dinner.

THREE MEN DIED ON CHRISTMAS EVE

 

Three men died on Christmas Eve

And were stood before St Peter

“You must all pass a simple test

Before you are allowed to enter”

 

“So produce a symbol of the season

Either on or about your person”

 

The first man retrieved a bauble

From his overcoat pocket

And St Peter turned to the gate

And proceeded to unlock it

 

St Peter said “You are blessed

Because you have passed the test”

 

The next man took a red bow

From his overcoat pocket

And St Peter turned to the gate

And proceeded to unlock it

 

St Peter said “You are blessed

Because you have passed the test”

 

The last man took a pair of panties

From his overcoat pocket

St Peter stood fast before the gate

And made no effort to unlock it

 

St Peter said “You are not blessed

Because you have failed the test”

 

“In what way do a pair of knickers

Symbolized the Christmas season

I fail to see how they are appropriate

So enlighten me as to the reason”

 

So the man proceeded to explain

“A young woman’s intimate apparels

Are without a doubt appropriate

When they happen to be carols”

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE NORTH POLE

 

Christmas Eve at the North Pole

Under moonlit skies

Creeping around the Village

Are the Mince spies

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 24

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Shop

The last-minute shoppers

Were all copping a strop
