Door bells ring, are you listening,
In the street, snow is glistening,
Out in the night,
There’s a
hideous sight
Your mother
in her winter underwear

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ROSEMONT
Twenty-three-year-old Lisa (Ayla Kell) is pregnant and running away from the baby’s
father Craig (Lochlyn Munro).
She is travelling on the bus to Denver when she hears that the road
ahead is closed due to snow and is going back the way they came.
But at a diner she overhears Brad (Brendan Michael Coughlin), a professional
snowboarder, talking to his girlfriend on the phone about his plan to drive
over the mountain in his 4 x 4 so she asks for a ride.
They make good progress initially, but a blizzard overtakes them and Brad's
car slams into a snowbank in the middle of the wilderness.
They are forced to seek shelter at the only sign of civilization that
they had seen in the last ten miles, the Rosemont Lodge.
Which was once a vibrant year-round resort, but the Rosemont Lodge had
been closed for nearly 20 years.
Most of the Lodge has been sealed up and only a corner of the main
building shows any sign of habitation.
As they
approached the building they are greeted by the lodge's owner,
Josephine (Grace Zabriskie), who is
brandishing a shotgun, and her retainer Abe (Brad Dourif) who persuades her to let them in out
of the snow.
Josephine used to be the heart and soul of the resort, her
personality, and her cooking, were as much of an attraction as were the
hundreds of acres of pristine mountain wilderness but as a result of personal tragedy,
she closed the resort and became a recluse.
However,
having Brad and a heavily pregnant Lisa about the place it has a thawing effect
on Josephine and after she and Abe deliver the baby a bond is formed that has a
lasting effect.
This is a
very enjoyable Christmas tale in which Grace Zabriskie is the absolute star of
the show as Josephine, but Brad Dourif runs a close second as Abe.
CHRISTMAS GATEAU
It is time for me to make
My most
special Christmas cake
The only
thing you need to start
Is the most
joyous open heart
Then add by
the pound
All the
love that can be found
Delightful
festive merriments
And simple
humble ingredients
Thankfulness
and Gratitude
Lashings of
positive attitude
Laced with
Christmas cheer
And a cup
of Christmas beer
An
abundance of good wishes
With lots
of hugs and kisses
Not
forgetting laughter and fun
Enough to
serve everyone
And to
complete my Gateau
I garnish
with sprigs of mistletoe
WHEN CHRISTMAS WEARS ITS TINSELLED GOWN
When Christmas wears its tinselled gown
Joy fills
the streets around the town
We must
banish those who wear a frown
As we
celebrate the King with the holy crown
I DON’T WANT TO WISH YOU
I don’t want to wish you
A happy
holiday
No that I
will not say
I’m not
going to wish you
A happy
yuletide
No that I
will not abide
I’m not
going to wish you
A happy
festive period,
No and the
reasons are myriad
I’m not
going to wish you
A happy
winter festival
No, that
isn’t suitable
I’m going
to wish to you
A very
happy Christmas
THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED FOR CHRISTMAS
This is the
endearing tale of the postal service’s four musketeers of the undelivered mail
department, the beloved quartet of post office detectives, with a duty to
deliver every last letter before Christmas.
Oliver
O'Toole (Eric Mabius) and his team, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), Rita
Haywith (Crystal Lowe) and Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), are working around
the clock to redirect Santa’s mail and with the assistance and a little
guidance from a mysterious post office volunteer, Jordan (Rob Estes) they clear
all the back log by the end of December 23rd.
The whole
group then all attend the Christmas formal before they head off on their
separate ways to spend their Christmas’s alone where they receive an emotional
last-minute plea addressed to God, so they must delay their own travel plans to
make sure one little girl doesn’t lose her Christmas joy.
And as they
work tirelessly to make the little girl’s wish come true Oliver runs into his
former Sunday school teacher (Marion Ross) and the true identity of the
mysterious Jordan is revealed and the quartet discover love right under their
noses.
WITHOUT SANTA’S LITTLE HELPER
Without Santa’s little helper
Christmas
would be very hard
I don’t
think I could do Christmas
Without my
credit card
