Now Dasher, Now, Dancer
Now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet, On Cupid
On Donner, On Blitzen
So the plastic Santa’s say
Down at the
mall
But
shoppers have a verse
That serves
one and all
Now charge
it, now defer it
No cash and
No cheques
On store
card, on visa
On
MasterCard and A-mex
Mildred went to the post office
To buy
stamps for her Christmas cards
“What
denomination do you want?”
She was
asked by Mr Everard
“That’s
political correctness gone mad,
Has it come
to this?” said she
“You’d
better give me a book of Catholic
And a book
of C of E”
Unbeknown
to everyone at the bakery CEO Jack Carlingson (Jonathan Whittaker) is planning
to step down in the New Year and hand the reigns over to his son Nick (Daniel
Lissing).
However,
because of his obsession with modernization he has reservations, so he sends
Nick to White Deer in December to learn all aspects of working in a bakery,
including the production line that he is so keen to replace and to meet the
employees people face to face, because they are the ones destined to be laid
off if he got his way.
It fell on
Ellie as human resources manager to show him the ropes and teach Nick how to
make a Kringle, while also showing him that people make a business successful,
not machines.
He is also
introduced to the other employees as well as townspeople who work at and use
the food bank and begins to appreciate the human cost of mass layoffs.
During the process Ellie and Nick fall for each other as he helps her to chase her entrepreneurial dreams and their other dreams come true at the same time.
Santa (James Cosmo)
has his sleigh shot down while flying through restricted military airspace and
he is found unconscious on the railway tracks by two children Daniel (Scott Graham) and Sophia (Ali
Lyons),
While lying in hospital in a coma one of the nurses looking after him
is the children’s mother Joanna (Ione
Skye), but the earthbound Santa is sought for questioning by a pair of overzealous
Homeland Security agents.
As a result the fate of Christmas is in the hands of the disbelieving
by-the-book duo of Agents, unless their faith in Santa can be restored by two
children, their mother, the local sheriff (Jonathan Kerrigan) and a trio of elves
who have arrived from the North to help out a friend in need.
The snow softly falls on Christmas Eve
Excitement
abounds for they who believe
Children’s
faces gaze out from the light
Searching
for Santa in the snowy night
Then off to
bed skipping across the floor
After milk
and cookies are left by the door
Snuggled
under covers they say “night mum”
And think
happy thoughts of the day to come
They lie
too excited to sleep in their beds
But sleep
they do then they dream instead
Dreams of
Santa Claus and presents galore
Dreams of
toys and sweets and so much more
Then they
awake in the early morning gloom
Squeals of
delight coming from their rooms
And so
another Christmas day has come
A day of
love and laughter and above all fun
My mum got me a jumper
That fits
what it touched
My sister
got me novelty socks
That didn’t
cost very much
My dad got
me a Philishave
To shave
between my spots
My Nan got
me a scarf
And a box
of jelly tots
But it’s
the identity
That I
would like to know
Of who got
me the condoms
Tied up
with a bow

and her Christmas wreaths are in great demand.
