A SIMPLE GIFT

 

I’m hoping that this Christmas

I will get what I desire

I’m not that easy to please

I don’t ridiculously aspire

 

I don’t want the moon and stars

Or diamonds or pearls

Some perfume or cosmetics will do

I’m not one of those greedy girls

 

I just want something for me

Just a small thing, for me this year

But as always it will be something

For the house from IKEA

SCROOGE LIKE

 

They say the perfect Christmas

Is blessed with family and friends

I say the fewer the better

Otherwise the present buying never ends

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ANGEL OF CHRISTMAS

 

Susan Nicholas (Jennifer Finnigan) is a copy editor for a New York Newspaper but she really wants to be a writer, but is continually being knocked back.

But she is given an assignment just before Christmas to write a seasonal piece for the Christmas edition of the paper, the only problem is that she is a sceptic when it comes to Christmas.

But she is inspired to write an article about her family's much-storied heirloom, a Christmas angel, which was hand carved by her great Grandfather.

It has supposedly been instrumental in bring several generation of her forebears together but Susan is a cynic about that as well.

But despite her cynicism the angel leads her to an accidental meeting with Brady (Jonathan Scarfe), a cute, upbeat artist who with the help of the angel, whisks Susan the grinch into a holiday-time friendship and hopefully more, if the hand-carved angel, with the reputation to bring people together, work its magic on the sceptical Susan as it moves her closer to Brady.

This is a really lovely Christmas story and quite magical even if the hand carved angel is really rather ugly.

THE FESTIVE INTERVAL

 

When celebrating

The festive interval

Please refrain from calling it

The winterval

PANTER CLAUS

 

We’ll have a quiet night in

So let the festivities begin

I think it really is a thriller

To have you as a stocking filler

Do you think it shocking?

To want you in my stocking

But I’ll fill you with joy

If you’ll be my sex toy

I can be your secret Santa

You can be my sultry panter

A bit of festive rough and tumble

Ok then just a quick fumble

I thought you’d be up for a goose

They all said you were loose

Then you’re not a sure thing?

And you don’t swing?

No please don’t go home yet

I’m the best offer you’ll get

Sod it another quiet night in

Let the celibacies begin

FLAWLESS

 

You are fat and round

And your trousers are tight

Your nose is quite red

And your beard is white

Now all of the above

Might be considered flaws

But they’re not to me

As you are my Santa Claus
