ARE YOU WEARING IT THE RIGHT WAY?

 

Are you wearing it the right way?

I heard the pretty girl say

Should it be tied like so?

For kissing under the mistletoe

Am I showing my naïveté?

In the most embarrassing way

It’s just that I kind of felt

It shouldn’t be tied on your belt

I got a Microsoft Advent Calendar

This year, but if you should open

Too many Windows, They will,

For no apparent reason all close again

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1999)

 

Patrick Stewart stars as miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this quality retelling of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.

The classic tale in which he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him, revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.

Scrooge is faced with his own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own future will hold, death or redemption.

The Spirits are played by Joel Grey (Past), Desmond Barrit (Present) and Tim Potter (Future)

The other key characters and portrayed by Bernard Lloyd (Marley), Laura Fraser (Belle), Richard E. Grant and Saskia Reeves (The Cratchit’s), Ben Tibber (Tiny Tim), Ian McNeice and Annette Badland (The Fezziwig’s), Dominic West (Fred) and Rosie Wiggins (Fran).

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 27

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Hall

Not a creature was stirring

After the Christmas Eve Ball

Except the servants of course

Who didn’t sleep at all

ARE YOU WEARING A BUNCH OF MISTLETOE?

 

Are you wearing a bunch of mistletoe?

Well you certainly mean business

Isn’t that overkill? “Less is more” after all

But you know what your doing I guess

Are you aiming at a particular beau?

Do you have a target in mind?

Or are you more indiscriminate

Scattergun like or something of the kind

Oh so there is an object of your affections

Is it perhaps someone that I know?

It’s someone I know very well indeed?

I still don’t know the identity of your beau

It’s me? I’m the one you desire?

You want to kiss me beneath the mistletoe?

I WAS PUNCHING BUTTONS ALL DAY

 

I was punching Buttons all day

But I got the sack though

Which was a little disappointing

Because I liked doing Panto

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – IT'S A DOGGONE CHRISTMAS (2016)

 

The CIA are transporting a pint-sized Jack Russel Terrier with amazing telepathic abilities, to a military base, by train, under the watchful gaze of Agent Sheppard (Jaret Sacrey) and Dr. Langley (Dominique Swain), when he escapes from the Agents clutches.

Once he leaves the train in the mountains he immediately makes his way down to the valley below where he meets two brothers Ronnie and Hugo (Jonathan Tysor and Jayden Hedden) and their friends Jamie, Janelle and Issac (Walker Mintz, Jolie Ledford and Dilan Patton), and the youngsters fall in love with the dog at first sight, even before they know that he’s physic.

However the Government are not going to let their asset go without a fight so they despatch the no-nonsense Special Forces agent, Camilla Sharp (Lauren Parkinson), who will stop at nothing to retrieve the dog or make sure no one else does, and she has Helicopters, drones and hi-tech weapons at her disposal.

However the friends, armed only with their wits, their bikes and a strong, newly formed bond with their cold-nosed friend 'Murphy', channel the real spirit of Christmas to try and save the dog and the day.
