FAIRY ON THE TREE

 

Fairy, fairy on the tree

Why do you look so glum?

Is it the Christmas Blues?

To which you have succumbed

Is that what makes you sad

Or the needles up your bum

CHRISTMAS BABY

 

Oh, how fondly we both remember

That most special time in December

The first Christmas for our little boy

Our newborn precious bundle of joy

The most special gift sent from above

Sent down from heaven for us to love

Now our baby boy is all full grown

With a little bundle of joy of his own

JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

 

Christmas at the office

Is just like any other day

Let’s face of it

You end up doing all the work

And the fat guy in the suit

Gets all the credit

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE TWELVE TREES OF CHRISTMAS (2013)

 

The Twelve Trees of Christmas strongly echoes the rivalries of "You've Got Mail" or "Two Weeks’ Notice".
Cheri Jamison (Lindy Booth) works at the Shaughnessy Library in Manhattan, and she finds out shortly before Christmas that the library is not to reopen after the holiday and is to be demolished to make way for luxury apartments.

She immediately rallies the residents of her beloved Manhattan neighbourhood to fight the closure but finds herself up against an ambitious developer Tony Shaughnessy (Robin Dunne).

Despite her efforts she is thwarted at every turn so decides to get all the patrons of the library to participate in a Christmas tree decorating contest to be judged on Christmas Eve by Rosaleen Shaughnessy (Dawn Greenhalgh).

The process of decorating the trees brings romance to some of the participants including despite their best efforts, Cheri and Tony.

ON THE EVE

 

A hearty Christmas greeting

Merry Christmas to one and all

Tonight, excitement fills the air

The night Santa comes to call

With gifts galore for everyone

To be piled high beneath the tree

Christmas Eve anticipation never fails

To fills our hearts with glee

CHUCKLING WITH DELIGHT

Chuckling with delight

At the twinkling tree lights

You giggle and smile

And yet all the while

You really don’t know

Why your sweet face is aglow

And you gurgle excitedly

At everything you see

It’s a very special time

When Christmas bells chime

And Santa’s on his way

With presents on his sleigh

For every little lad and lass

To have a special Christmas

But for you my darling one

Just enjoying all the fun

Chuckling with delight

At the twinkling tree lights

When Santa comes this way

It’s for your first Christmas Day

CHRISTMAS WITH THE BROWNS

 

Every Christmas day is the same

The Browns come round for lunch

I dread the time as it approaches

They’re a bloody awful bunch

He’s an opinionated git

She’s a loudmouthed fishwife

Their kids run amuck unchecked

Causing trouble and strife

They drink all my booze

And eat every crumb of food

They’re uncouth and vulgar

Obnoxious and just plain rude

They are a truly horrible family

I wish I could show them the door

They have no redeeming features

God, I hate my brother in law
