ONE FOOT OF SNOW FELL

 

One foot of snow fell

In the town of Lexington

So, when he went outside

He only wore one Wellington

DIFFERENCES # 3

 

The difference between Santa Claus

And a serial philanderer, as it goes

Is in essence a total lack of self-control

Because Santa stopped at three ho’s

PICROUS DAY

 

Picrous Day was a festival celebrated

By the tin miners of east Cornwall

“The feast of the discovery of Tin”

Which gives no credit to St Piran at all

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – WISHIN' AND HOPIN'

 

This film is based on the New York Times best-selling novel by award-winning author Wally Lamb and is a slice of vivid 1960s life, a wise-and-witty holiday tale that celebrates the “look how far we've come” philosophy.

It takes place in1964 in the small town of Three Rivers, where Felix Funicello (Wyatt Ralff) is a Catholic school fifth-grader at St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parochial School.

And his only claim to fame is his cousin Annette Funicello (Krysta Rodriguez), the famous Mouseketeer and teen movie queen.

But grammar and arithmetic move to the back burner this holiday season with the sudden arrivals of substitute teacher Madame Frechette (Molly Ringwald) and feisty Russian student Zhenya Kabakova (Siobhan Cohen) and Felix’s world is turned upside down in this witty and endearing Christmas offering.

Annabella Sciorra puts in a great performance as his ma and Meat Loaf is outrageous as Monsignor Muldoon which just adds to the overall quality.

ARE YOU WEARING ANY CLOTHES?

 

Are you wearing any clothes?

My little Christmas elf

You’re supposed to dress the tree!

Not undress yourself

CHRISTMAS GOOSE

 

At Christmas time

I do like a goose

It is my one weakness

And I offer no excuse

 

Though it does depend

Of course on the bird

To say any different

Would be quite absurd

 

The quality of goose

That you are executing

Is directly related

To the bird you are goosing

MOTHER CHRISTMAS, THANKS

 

Mums make Christmas

Only they can

That is a fact of life

Her mission is simple

Every year

Recreating the day

 

Christmas for her

Holidays for her

Require of her to

Illuminate the season

Supply an army

Trim and decorate

Make and manufacture

Aid and assist

Sustain and nourish

 

Thank her

Honour her

Assist her

Neglect her not

Kids and spouses

Should respect her
