THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST

 

On the north winds they come

Blown in on Decembers icy blast

Unwelcome visitors come calling

The ghosts of Christmas past

 

Creeping in with happier memories

Standing out in stark contrast

Sad memories best forgotten

The ghosts of Christmas past

CHRISTMAS IS OUR FAVOURITE CELEBRATION

 

Christmas is our favourite celebration

In fact it is the most special occasion

A time to express what is in our hearts

The moment the festive season starts

For we have the most heartfelt wish

For those whose love we truly cherish.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT

 

When temperamental Broadway director Vera Parks (Melissa Gilbert) is fired from yet another job, she has become unemployable in Manhattan so when she gets an offer to direct a Christmas pageant somewhere upstate, she has no alternative but to take the gig.

But she comes into conflict with all the cast, who are all traditionalists, when Vera wants to change everything.

She is also reacquainted with former beau Jack Harmon (Robert Mailhouse) which she was not expecting, and the former love is slowly rekindled as the rehearsals continue and then she begins to form relationships with the cast and understanding of each other’s points of views and appreciation of their positions lead to compromises being made.

MY FAVOURITE THINGS AT XMAS # 1


Baubles and bells and candlelight glows

Bright coloured parcels tied up with bows

Candy and spices and popcorn on strings

These are a few of my favourite things

DECEMBER REMEMBRANCES

 

Every year during the festivities

I remember friends and family

Those who are no longer with us

To celebrate another Christmas

And with each passing December

It seems there are more to remember

But I take time in equal measure

To enjoy each moment and to treasure

Those special ones who are still here

Whose number also grows year on year

CHRISTMAS CHILL

 

Enjoy your Christmas day in peace

Avoid any kind of quarrel or wrangle

Chill out, relax and enjoy the day

And don’t get your tinsel in a tangle

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – NAUGHTY AND NICE

 

The Pepper and Spice radio show in Los Angeles was a popular and edgy phone in show but cynical Pepper Sterling (Tilky Jones) oversteps the mark and upsets one of the stations major sponsors and is banished to a sister station in rural Colorado town.

He was assigned to co-host a show with a "love doctor" Sandra Love (Haylie Duff), who is a hopeless romantic.

Pepper was unhappy with being second banana on a hick show in the back of beyond and wasn’t backwards in coming forward about letter people know as a result they have a spat live on air which gets them off on the wrong foot and their antagonistic relationship gets the whole town talking.

At first the two mix like oil and water but their on-air bickering becomes popular and, inevitably, they start to like each other and like soon leads to love.
