There are three things
That
Christmas brings
They are
the three kings
Trimming and dec-king
Gratefully
than-king,
And memory
ma-king,

THEY ARE THE THREE KINGS
NOW THAT IT'S CHRISTMAS # 2
Now that it's Christmas
It makes me
kind of glum
To do all
the things
I used to
do with mum
But when I
feel her beside me
Then I
don’t feel so glum
A WINTER BLUNDERLAND
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
