MY CHRISTMAS WISH

 

Dear Santa Claus its that time once again

And not for the first time I have to complain

Last Christmas you once again failed miserably

In securing that one simple gift for me

Every Christmas I write and beg and plead

And I’ve been good, not perfect though I’ll concede

This is not the first complaint you’ve had from me

I’ve written since I was four and now I’m forty three

So once again I’m sending you my Christmas list

And ask you to fulfill my one and only wish

Please send me my own special red hot lover

Or at the very least my own significant other

THREE WISE ONES

 

The three wise men

Travelled for days before reaching Bethlehem

And arrived after the birth

They stood and viewed the scene in awe

And knelt reverently in the lords presence

Then gave their gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

 

The three wise women

Would have stopped to ask directions

And arrived before the birth

They would have delivered the baby

Then they would have cleaned the stable and cooked a meal

Before giving the baby really useful gifts

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS IN WONDERLAND

 

It's turning out to be a really bad Christmas for the Saunders family, because they’ve just moved from Los Angeles to Edmonton, father Wayne (Patrick Swayze) has just lost his job, his wife Judy (Rachel Hayward) is stranded at LA airport, the kids have no friends, the family have no money and, with the exception of the bright-eyed Mary, they have no Christmas spirit.

With Judy stuck in LA the Christmas shopping duties fall on Wayne and the kids, Brian, (Matthew Knight) Danny (Cameron Bright) and Mary (Amy and Zoe Schlagel) have to tag along.

But its not long before things start looking a bit more like Christmas, when 12-year old Brian and 6-year old Mary find a satchel full of money at the local mall and they launch into a Yuletide shopping spree, but the crooks, Leo and Sheldon Cardoza (Chris Kattan, Preston Lacy) and their boss Ginger Peachum (Carmen Electra), who counterfeited the money, chase them through the mall packed with holiday shoppers.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – SURVIVING XMAS (2018)

Miranda (Gemma Whelan) and Dan (Julian Ovenden) and their children live in the run down, rambling country house inherited from her recently deceased parents which they run as a small holding.

Despite its dilapidated, work in progress, state with a team of polish builders’ resident on site, they have invited a house full for Christmas.

Mirandas fading Hollywood actress sister Lyla (Joely Richardson), her alcoholic/drug addict husband Trent (Michael Landes) and their children, Dans oversexed half-sister Vicky (Ronni Ancona), his ex-wife Miriam (Sally Phillips) and addict son Harry (Jonas Moore),

Aunt Peggy (Patricia Hodge) and Uncle John (James Fox), to name but a few.

So, a chaotic Christmas ensues with old sibling rivalry, family squabbles, drunkenness, drug abuse, and infidelities all of which threaten to sabotage the season of goodwill.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS TREE (1966)

“The Christmas Tree” is A Children's Film Foundation Christmas-themed short film, in which a trio of kids Gary (William Burleigh), Jane (Kate Nicholls) and Sam (Anthony Honour) decide to embark on an epic odyssey to transport a large Christmas tree some 30 miles to a children's hospital in London and get into a variety of scrapes along the way.

It is filmed in black and white which adds to the atmosphere and is well photographed, there is plenty of humour to keep things moving along and the cast includes Brian Blessed and Geoffrey Whitehead as policemen.

All in all a very enjoyable little film. 

THROW AWAY CHRISTMAS

 

Cards adorned with Robins and snow

Holly sprigs and festive candle glow

Advent calendar and paper chains

Decorations never to be used again

Ribbons and bows and paper wrapping

With tree and wreath all go in the bin

Though Christmas may be throw away

The love can be recycled every day

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

 

It was Christmas Eve closing time, nearly

Where a last minute shopper, frustrated clearly

Was rummaging through the freezer cabinet

At her nearest out of town super market

Desperately searching for a frozen turkey

And couldn't find one big enough for her family

Then she saw a young shop assistant pass by

And decided that she would give him a try

"Do these turkeys get any bigger?" she said

Puzzled he replied "No madam, they're dead."
