IT’S CHRISTMAS BY GOLLY

 

It’s Christmas by golly

Let’s hang up the holly

It’s Christmas by golly

Let’s spend all our lolly

It’s Christmas by golly

It’s the time to be jolly

THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

All year long I fancied Lucy

But she turned out to be fickle

So, I thought I’d drown my sorrows

And have a few festive tipples

But I ended up in a cupboard

With a girl with hairy nipples

CHRISTMAS HAS COME

 

The windowsill is piled with snow

The ingle nook is all aglow

We’ve cleaned and swept the floor

The wreath is hanging on the door

The lights are lit, the halls are decked

The list of tasks has all been checked

Now we’re filled with Christmas cheer

Let’s have a drink of Christmas beer

Then ring the bell and bang the drum

Rejoice, rejoice Christmas has come

THE GOOD HUSBAND AND HIS WIFE

 

The good husband and his wife

Are happy partners in their life

Content in each other’s company

They live their life quite humbly

 

Yet come the time of advent

All time and effort is then spent

In the seasonal preparations

Of the coming celebrations

 

Where the good couple dwelt

Festive odours could be smelt

As special victuals quietly matured

As they cooked and baked and cured

 

This went on till advent passed

And they had cooked their last

Then the boxes were well packed

To ensure that no one lacked

 

The boxes were then sent on their way

To be delivered for Christmas day

To the poor and needy of the town

To those that society had let down

 

But not all was sent on its way

There was plenty kept for Christmas day

When friends and neighbours all

Were invited to the little church hall

 

Where on that Christmas day

Their bounty was on display

Biscuits, bread and well filled pies

Cakes and sweets of varying size

 

Roasted meats, fowl and game

Fruits and nuts of every name

And a good time was had by all

At the happy feast at the church hall

 

The good husband and his wife

The happy partners in each other’s life

Content in each other’s company

Sat in the corner quite humbly

 

Spectators at the feast of their making

Quietly satisfied with their undertaking

Content with their preparations

And happy with the Christmas celebrations

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – MOONLIGHT AND MISTLETOE

 

Holly Crosby (Candace Cameron Bure) grew up in her father’s old-fashioned all-year Christmas village Santaville, and working as a mere elf on Christmas preparations all year round killed Holly's seasonal spirit so she moved out after feeling neglected following her mother’s death, to become a Boston toy firm's hardest-working sales executive.

But when Nick (Tom Arnold) has a bad fall, Holly returns to help out and finds Santaville outdated and near bankruptcy despite a lot of generous help, especially from shy Peter (Christopher Wiehl).

Holly tries everything to save it, but the solution appears like manna from heaven when a plan proposed by charming financial advisor Ben Richards (Matt Walton) but is it too good to be true.

ARE YOU WEARING RED SHOES?

 

Are you wearing red shoes?

And very festive they are to

And just the thing for a Christmas do

WE ARE THE CAROL SINGERS

 

We are the carol singers

Who sing carols as we go

We sing in any weather

In rain or wind or snow

 

At every house or cottage

That stands upon the lane

We proudly sing a carol

In snow or wind or rain

 

We are the carol singers

We never feel chagrined

As we proudly sing together

In snow or rain or wind

 

We shake the tin for charity

Singing carols as we go

We are the carol singers

In rain or wind or snow
