Why would I make a Christmas Wish?
And hope
that it would come true,
What on
earth could I ever wish for?
That would
be a tenth as good as you

A WASTED WISH
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ANGEL DOLLS
Angel Dolls
is by far the best Christmas movie of the last 30 years.
It is
possessed with all the usual ingredients for a seasonal film, romance, humour,
schmaltz, pathos and a strong Christian message but this one has something
else, a surprise ending.
And that’s
not something that’s easy to pull off in a Christmas movie.
Lynn Brandt
(Josie Bissett) is an abused wife who leaves her alcoholic husband Darryl
(Russell Porter) on Thanksgiving and moves with her children Thomas (Rustin
Gresiuk) and Sara (Farryn Van Humbeck) to another town.
A year
later and Lynn is working hard but getting nowhere financially and has to tell
her son Thomas that they can’t afford a tree, decorations or presents.
Thomas is
already having problems of his own as he’s still the new boy at high school and
is being regularly bullied.
Their lives
slowly become entwined with another family in trouble Kevin Morrell (Matthew
Settle) has a failing business and his wife Jenny (Kendra Anderson) is heavily
pregnant.
Thomas and
Kevin become friends on the basketball court at a church youth club while
Jenny’s pregnancy takes a turn for the worst.
Lynn finds
a solution for the lack of Christmas presents and signs up the children for the
Paper Angels which allows those on low incomes to write their child’s name and
the desired gifts on the back of a Paper Angel hanging on the Christmas Tree at
the Mall.
The school
bullying soon turns to cyber bullying when another student puts up a Facebook
appeal to help a poor kid namely Thomas.
But after
he is befriended by popular girl Cassie Bale (Anja Savcic), Thomas uses the
cyber bullying to his own advantage and turns the Facebook campaign into a
charity collection for the Salvation Army.
Predictably
perhaps Kevin gets Thomas’s angel from the tree, but the gifts he asks for are
far from predictable.
SNOWMAN
What a lovely snowman
Big and
round and tall
There isn’t
anything I like better
Really
nothing at all
It’s the
first thing I look for
As soon as
the snow falls
It’s
definitely a snowman
See it has
“Snow balls”
AT THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BINGE
Well at the end of the year
Its
managements’ biggest fear
That staff
should infringe
At the
annual Christmas Binge
After
spiking the fruit punch
In the
canteen after lunch
Their
totally off their hinge
At the
annual Christmas Binge
The amount
of alcohol downed
As many a
sorrow was drowned
Made the
accountant whinge
At the
annual Christmas Binge
The extent
of the reveling
Was quite
frankly bedeviling
Enough for
his beard to singe
At the
annual Christmas Binge
The things
that a little party ho
Did beneath
the mistletoe
Would make
a puritan cringe
At the
annual Christmas Binge
Karen from
reception bless her
Botox-ed
her face with vodka
With a catering syringe
At the
annual Christmas Binge
The level
of fraternization
Was quite a
revelation
And caused
a few backs to twinge
At the
annual Christmas Binge
You may
well be forgiven
After the
events which had arisen
That it was
the lunatic fringe
At their
annual Christmas Binge
Next day
when the party was over
Everyone
suffered from a hangover
And all
took on an earthy tinge
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
