I DON’T NEED THE FINEST GIFT

 

I don’t need the finest gift

I don’t need a Christmas wish

Because I’m already blessed

With a special Christmas dish

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A STAR FOR CHRISTMAS

 

Cassie (Briana Evigan) owns and runs her own Cupcakery which happens to be the only thing that is actually working in Cassie's world, her small-town business in fact is a huge success, but her love life on the other hand is a total mess.

She can’t get over her ex-boyfriend Jared (Travis Van Winkle) because she sees him all the time as they have joint custody of the dog.

One day a stranger in the shop announces that she makes the best cupcakes he has ever tasted and the stranger turns out to be a big time Hollywood film director and he is making a movie in town and he wants Cassie to cater for the crew.

She also meets Alex (Corey Sevier) who she thinks is a handyman and employs him to work in the bakery and then her whole universe is turned upside down when she falls in love with him before he is revealed to be the famous and notoriously troubled actor Alex Gray.

Actress Skylar (Brooke Burns) rocks the boat as the femme fatal but Cassie’s best friend Tricia (Karissa Vacker) holds things together in the enjoyable holiday romcom.

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.
