WHY DOESN'T SANTA HAVE ANY KIDS?

 

Why doesn't Santa have any kids?

Well it’s impossible for him see

As he only comes once a year

And he’s normally up a chimney

SANTA IS SUCH A JOLLY CHAP

 

Have you ever wondered

Why Santa is such a jolly chap?

Well it’s because he knows

Where all the naughty girls are at

THERE IS A SINGING ELF

 

There is a singing Elf

Up at the North Pole

With a powerful voice

For one so small and dapper

 

The singing Elf croons

All day in the workshop

So the other Elf’s call him

The Christmas Wrapper

This cheerless British movie is not a typical example of Christmas fayre, so if you’re looking for a schmaltzy tale full of Carols and Candy Canes this is not one for you.

It takes place in a derelict listed building in a northern City which has been occupied by a collection of homeless people, among them was a war-veteran with a chequered past.

However, when three vicious psychopaths, wearing Santa suits, attack  the residents on Christmas Day, he must draw on a side of himself he had kept buried.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS DANCE (2021

 

During a Church Nativity performance two young girls, Sarah and Kate (Cassady Jane Lorentzen and Lorelai Green) are performing a dance duet when Sarah trips and falls over a mic lead which was carelessly left on stage by her brother Sherman (Brady Amaya).

The resulting trauma from being humiliated on stage in front of the whole Church community meant that for the adult Sarah (Kristen Vaganos), Christmas was not her favourite time of year.

She also found any excuse not to go home for the Holidays, despite the best efforts of her Pastor brother Sherman (Miles Faber).

However, it was on one occasion when they were on the phone and he was trying to persuade her to come home that he had a car accident and the line went dead.

She was in such a panic that she dropped everything and returned home.

Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but having got her there the family contrived to keep her there, and with the help of Jason (Carson Nicely) she is taught to bury the past and learns the  Christmas Dance along the way.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS COLLISION (2021)

 

Just before Christmas, Theodora Greenly (Sebrina Scott) is sent to Ohio to complete the foreclosure on the King farm but arrives on the day of the funeral for the mother of Charles King (John Wells).

Being a time consumed professional and seemingly devoid of empathy she coldly delivers the news that his mother had defaulted on the mortgage and was there to repossess the farm.

However, despite her cold demeanour, she is persuaded to allow Charles an extra day to consult his bank, and she uses the time to check some details herself.

When she returns to the farm, she badly sprains her ankle and is forced to stay until she can put her weight on it again.

While experiencing his hospitality she begins to thaw and they are both taken by surprise when it appears that they have chemistry, and while they are falling for each other it becomes apparent that the repossession she had been sent to Ohio to execute is not at all above board.
