MY FAVOURITE THINGS AT XMAS # 4

 

The reindeer that fly like the birds on the wing

Santa Claus commanding with his gifts to bring

Joy bringing Carollers with songs to sing

These are a few of my favourite things

THE ORIGINS OF DANCE # 1

 

If Scottish dancers

Come from Scotland

And Irish dancers

Come from Ireland

Are Lap dancers

From Lapland?

CHRISTMAS COMPLEMENT

 

As I was basting the bird

A thought, to me occurred

It was only at this time of peace

That Turkey and Greece,

As with hot fat you smother,

Complement each other


THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER - A SONG FOR THE SEASON

 

This is a lovely story set during the holiday season, when a stern school administrator Cal Peterson (Gerald McRaney) is sent to review Bethlehem School with a view to cutting costs by any means.

He is accompanied by his teenage niece Fern (Alison Pill) who is now in his care and who, unknown to Cal, is brought alive by the music program

Cal and Fern move in with Cal’s father Jake Peterson (Andy Griffith) which provides another sub plot.

Also Cal despite himself begins to fall for music teacher Lily Waite (Naomi Judd) and following a long review, Cal is forced to conclude that the only way to save the funds is to eliminate the music program.

It is only at the final concert, before Lily must leave her job, the music program is saved by generous donations, and Cal sees Fern perform.

Not a dry eye in the house, wonderful stuff.

MY FAVOURITE THINGS AT XMAS # 3

 

Hearing the Church bells and sleigh bells ringing

Midnight mass worship with Carol singing

Singing in praise of the King of Kings

These are a few of my favourite things

EVER SO HUMBLE

 

When toward my bed I stumble

My wife greets me with a grumble

“Hello my little apple crumble”

I say as in her nightgown I fumble

My advances are met with a mumble

“Dearest, my desire is quite humble

A little bit of rough and tumble”

Her reply is yet another mumble

But we did have a Christmas fumble

CHRISTMAS IS THE PERFECT TIME

 

Christmas is the perfect time

For the perfect Christmas rhyme

So when the bells of Christmas chime

Have the happiest Christmas time
