RICHARD GURLEY DREW

 

Richard Gurley Drew invented sellotape

In order to help out a mechanic friend  

I got his autobiography for Christmas but

I didn’t finish it as I couldn’t find the end

IF FROM ALL THE BEST CHRISTMAS SHOWS

If from all the best Christmas shows

I had to pick only five

For me it would be any Christmas show

By Morecambe and Wise


I AM THE UNBEATEN MASTER AT TRIVIAL PURSUIT

 

I am the unbeaten master at Trivial Pursuit

At the annual Christmas family sessions

But then I do have an advantage, because

We play with my original set of questions

BLACK CHRISTMAS

 

Now that the one I love is gone

The season has left me bitter

My heart has lost its soulmate

And Christmas has lost its glitter

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 26TH OF DECEMBER

 

Remember, Remember the 26th of December

The feast of Stephen is the day

Celebrated in a very special way

In the UK it’s known as Boxing Day

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS AT THE MADISON: PART 1 (2021)

 

Sisters Jennifer and Meg Swift (Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams) are incredibly close even though they live apart, widowed Jennifer in Salt Lake City with her son Simon (Jacob Buster) where she runs a popular restaurant.

Meg meanwhile remained in their hometown, Hazelwood, working at the family bakery.

But as the first Christmas, since the death of their Uncle Dave (Kevin Nealon), approaches things change.

Meg travels to the city to cover at the restaurant while Jennifer and Simon return to Hazelwood for the holiday.

Once they are home and experience the warmth of family and the joys of a hometown Christmas, they become obsessed with putting on one last Christmas screening at the Madison, Jennifer’s late Uncle's old, dilapidated movie theatre before it is sold.

However, its sorely in need of repair so she turns to her high school crush Eric Baker (Mark Deklin) and of course the nostalgia of the theatre and the magic of the holidays bring welcome romance.
