WHAT WOULD I WISH FOR?

 

If I had a Christmas wish

What would I wish for?

Well that’s a good question

I’m not really sure

I'd wish for peace in the world

Yes I think that would do

No I’m only kidding

I would wish for you

ELF PRINCESS

 

I will be your elf princess

And I will be forever yours

So put on the red suit

And be my Santa Claus

A WASTED WISH

 

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

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

The day after the Christmas binge

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
