THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – LOST LETTER MYSTERIES FOR CHRISTMAS

 

This is the endearing tale of the postal service’s four musketeers of the Dead Letter Office, the beloved quartet of post office detectives, with a duty to deliver every last letter before Christmas.

Oliver O'Toole (Eric Mabius) and his team, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe) and Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), are working around the clock to redirect Santa’s mail and with the assistance and a little guidance from a mysterious post office volunteer, Jordan (Rob Estes) they clear all the back log by the end of December 23rd.

The whole group then all attend the Christmas formal before they head off on their separate ways to spend their Christmas’s alone where they receive an emotional last-minute plea addressed to God, so they must delay their own travel plans to make sure one little girl doesn’t lose her Christmas joy.

And as they work tirelessly to make the little girl’s wish come true Oliver runs into his former Sunday school teacher (Marion Ross) and the true identity of the mysterious Jordan is revealed and the quartet discover love right under their noses.

FESTIVE FEELING

 

Christmas is the time for living

Spreading love with the gift giving

So at the festive time of year

Fill your heart with Christmas cheer

WRITTEN WARNING

 

Beware of what you write

In your Christmas letter to Santa

Ask yourself if you’ve been good

But be honest when you answer

If you’re naughty and say you’re nice

Santa may erupt with laughter

He may even laugh so violently

That you end up killing Santa

PREPARING THE BIRD

 

The best way to prepare

Your turkey this Christmas

Is to keep it simple

To minimize the fuss

To my way of thinking

The best method to apply

Is just be straight

And say “Turkey, you’re going to die”

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS IN CONWAY

 

To most of the inhabitants of Conway, South Carolina, Duncan Mayor (Andy Garcia) is a bad tempered grouch, but to his wife, Suzy Mayor (Mary-Louise Parker) he was a doting pussycat.

And he has more reason than normal to be cranky because Suzy is dying and has arrived home from the hospital to be cared for 24/7 by Nurse Natalie Springer (Mandy Moore), whom Duncan resents for being there and tries his best to ignore her.

He also singles out landscape gardener Tommy Harris (Riley Smith) for special treatment while he is working on the neighbour’s garden.

But Duncan begrudging employs Tommy to help him set up a Ferris Wheel in his own back yard as a special Christmas present for Suzy and the significance of the gift was that it was while riding one many years earlier that Duncan asked Suzy to marry him.

Neighbour Gayle Matthews (Cheri Oteri) is the only fly in the ointment who manages to the construction halted.

But the ex-carnival worker, Henry (Mark Jeffrey Miller), who Duncan bought the Ferris Wheel from comes to the rescue to finish the job with his crew.

This is a wonderful story full of tears and laughter in equal measure and Mary-Louise Parker puts in another trademark performance in a very memorable Christmas story of enduring love.

BE ON YOUR GUARD

 

Be on your guard

Wherever you go

Tread very carefully

You could even tip toe

But if you don’t take heed

And don’t watch where you go

You may get caught

Beneath the mistletoe

COUNT ON IT

 

If you are constantly worrying

About overindulging

During the festive season

Then there really is no reason

It is a well-known fact you see

That you can fully enjoy the festivities

And relax and not stress or fuss

Because calories don't count at Christmas
