LAST CHRISTMAS

 

Last Christmas

We got the winter vomiting virus

It wasn’t nice

And it was shared by all of us

It was the worst

We didn’t see much Christmas cheer

I tell you one thing

We’ve just asked for money this year

SNOWFLAKES MUST NEVER BE

 

Snowflakes must never be

Caught in your open mouth

Until you’re sure that all

The birds have flown south

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE ENGAGEMENT CLAUSE (2016)

 

This is the story of two sisters, Carrie and Katie Tate (Jes Macallan and April Bowlby) who are as different as chalk and cheese.

Katie is away doing her own thing with no business brain or even any interest in commerce, while Carrie has been working hard for several years building the family business at the expense of a personal life.

But the bottom falls out of her world when Katie suddenly announces that she's getting married on Christmas Eve and all hell breaks loose in the Tate household.

And it’s all because there is some family chauvinistic contract which states that the new husband of whichever girl marries first gets control of the business.

So the race is on, will Carrie find a husband of her own in time to save the business she loves or will she reprioritize her life.

ARE YOU WEARING XMAS STOCKINGS?

 

Are you wearing Xmas stockings?

With a holly wreath motif

Along those long festive garlands

How I wish to trace each leaf

Along each luscious limber leg

An ascent exquisitely brief

To reach the Christmas gift

Beyond the holly wreath motif

TREE OF LIFE

 

Proudly standing there

In the town’s main square

The Christmas tree stands tall

Admired by one and all

Decked with coloured lights

Of red and green and blue and white

And every kind of coloured bauble

Short and long, large and small

Candy canes and bows adorn it

And myriad forms of other trinkets

This wonder easily catches the eye

Of every busy passer by

Who simply marvel at the sight

With open mouthed delight

Who before they continue on their way

Have to wipe a tear away

But it’s not the tree reaching to the sky

That brings a tear to the eye

But the parcels of every shape and size

A festive feast for weary eyes

A testament to people’s generosity

Sitting beneath this wondrous tree

Such a generous response to the endeavour

Thank God for those who know the answer

When want and need begs the question

Praise be to those who never forget

With hearts so full of Christmas spirit

MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS GIFT

 

My favourite Christmas gift

Costs nothing it’s free

It’s the overflowing gift of joy

I get from my family

BRIGHTEST TIME

 

At Christmas time

There is only one thing

Brighter than the Christmas lights

And that is the magical look

On a child’s face

Full of wonder and delight
