So when the
bells of Christmas chime
Have the happiest Christmas time

THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Last year at the Christmas fair
I reached
for my wallet and it wasn’t there
I was going
to report my cards stolen
But I
didn’t bother I must declare
As the
thieves spent considerably less
Than my
extravagant wife Claire
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS
Julie (Jeanne Neilson) and Austin Locke (Eric Jay Beck) are devastated when
they learn their young son, Dax, has cancer.
Their story
is told through the eyes of Megan
Walsh (Candace Cameron Bure) a busy
wife and mother who reads Julie’s blog about the time spent at St Jude’s
hospital.
As she reads the blog she learns to put her own life into perspective
while the Locke’s have to face the fact that their son is going to die and that
he won’t live until Christmas, but with courage, determination and faith, they
give Dax one last Christmas, even if it is in October.
You might think the death of a child an unusual component for a
Christmas story but far from being morbid it is an uplifting story which makes
you think.

MY FAVOURITE THINGS AT XMAS # 2
Mulled wine and eggnog, a schooner of sherry
Baileys and
Babycham to keep the girls merry
Singing
along as Bing Crosby sings
These are a
few of my favourite things
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.
