EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL - FROSTY

 

Every year without fail

On Christmas Eve

It would appear

And we children

Would squeal out

A deafening cheer

 

When the source

Of our excitement

Was carefully set down

And we would sit

In our clean pajama’s

And dressing gown

 

And stare at the object

Open mouthed

In gleeful expectation

Of what was beneath

The cotton wool and

Crepe paper creation

 

We would have to wait

The longest time

In anticipation

But it was worth it

Too see inside the belly

Of Frosty’s incarnation

 

And when we thought

We could wait no longer

We all jumped to our feet

As Dad slowly removed

The carrot faced head

And revealed the treats

And as Dad gave Frosty

A little shake, out spilled

The Christmas sweets

NOVELTY TREE CHOCOLATES

 

When we were kids,

Before we went to bed,

My brothers and me

Were allowed a pick

A novelty chocolate

Off the Christmas tree

YOUNG LOVERS CUDDLE

 

Young lovers cuddle

Listening to carols sung

While the Yule log burns

A BROKEN DRUM IS THE BEST

 

A broken drum is the best

Christmas gift you can get

That might come as a surprise

But you really can’t beat it

WALNUTS IN WINTER

 

Walnuts in winter

Along with filberts, almonds

And fleshy Brazils

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CRAZY FOR CHRISTMAS

On Christmas Eve, Shannon McManus-Johnson (Andrea Roth) a chauffeur and single mother, has to leave her son Trevor (Jason Spevack) with a babysitter as she is stuck driving around a wealthy and eccentric client Fred Nickells (Howard Hesseman) who is giving away large sums of money, literally throwing dollars in the air wherever he goes.

The rich man’s actions obviously attract the attentions of the media and as the story proceeds, conflict ensues after a reporter Peter Archer (Yannick Bisson) interviews Fred and we learn a secret he has been keeping for a long time.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS CAROL # 39 MARCH OF THE KINGS

 

March Of The Kings

French traditional Music and lyrics authorship unknown

 

Three great kings I met at early morn
With all their retinue were slowly marching
Three great kings I met at early morn
Were on their way to meet the newly born
With gifts of gold brought from far away
And valiant warriors to guard the royal treasure
With gifts of gold brought from far away
Their shields all shining in their bright array

Ce matin, j'ai rencontré le train
De trois grands rois qui allaient en voyage
Ce matin, j'ai rencontré le train
De trois grands rois dessus le grand chemin
Tout chargés d'or les suivaient d'abord
De grands guerriers et les gardes du trésor
Tout chargés d'or les suivaient d'abord
De grands guerriers avec leurs boucliers

For Thy mercy and Thy grace
Constant through another year
Hear our song of thankfulness
Father and Redeemer hear
Dark the future; let Thy light
Guide us, bright and morning star
Fierce our foes and hard the fight
Arm us Savior for the war

In our weakness and distress
Rock of strength be Thou our stay
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living way
Keep us faithful; keep us pure
Keep us evermore Thine own
Help, O help us to endure
Fit us for the promised crown
