HOMELESS SNOWMAN

 

He was dressed in rags

And made from snow

A poor homeless snowman

A sad lonely snowbo

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1959)

 

Fredric March stars as miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this live TV retelling of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.

The classic tale in which he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him, revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.

Scrooge is faced with his own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own future will hold, death or redemption.

ARE YOU WEARING TINSEL IN YOUR HAIR?

 

Are you wearing tinsel in your hair?

Sitting atop your golden curls

You look so very angelic to me

A jewel more precious than pearls

But looks can be deceiving

Angel with the golden curls

And later on I might well discover

You’re one of the naughty girls

CHRISTMAS ACROSS THE SEA

 

I am of occidental origin

And I should make it clear

That I have lived all my life

In the northern hemisphere

 

And every year, except this one

I’ve spent Christmas in blighty

This year, I was invited to my daughters

I tried to decline, politely

 

She doesn’t live in Britain

But in the land of the kangaroo

Christmas day in high summer

Oh what an awful to-do

 

The hot sun was like the Grinch

Not a cloud in the sky since dawn

It ruined the day for me

And it made the eggnog warm

 

Flies buzzed round the turkey

My hat was stuck to my head

No queen’s speech on the telly

I wish I’d stayed home instead

I COULD BE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE

 

I could be your Christmas tree,

Strung with tinsel and lit, brightly

You can trim me with ribbons and bows

Baubles and bells anything goes

I shall be greeted with gasps and wows

And you can hide gifts beneath my boughs

You won’t regret it if you buy me

So let me be your Christmas tree

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS # 3

 I only want one Christmas gift

It’s the only Christmas wish I’ve wished

I just want to know all the names

Of the girls on the naughty list

CHRISTMAS TURKEY

 

Laid naked on the kitchen table

White flesh from leg to breast

A Christmas bird to be enjoyed

My table was truly blessed

 

I set about the job in hand

Getting the bird prepared

And by using all my expertise

No effort at all was spared

 

Having greased the old bird well

The meaty legs spread wide

And I began to stuff the bird

I was really in my stride

 

When the bird had been well stuffed

It lay resting on the cooker

Smelling of sage and onion

The bird really was a looker

 

Then I looked up at the kitchen clock

Panic filled me and I began to fret

I shouted to my wife “quick put you pants on”

I haven’t prepared the turkey yet
