THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS

I’m sitting here in dread

Memories of you filling my head

Sitting here so totally alone

Afraid of Christmas on my own

It was always you and me

Doing Christmas so merrily

Then you had to go and die

Leaving me with no goodbye

Losing you was such a blow

I know you didn’t choose to go

But I’m the one that’s left

I’m the one lonely and bereft

And for that simple reason

I close the curtains on the season

I will make my Christmas solitary

And not have to try to be merry

And I will avoid the usual jollity

All our friends and their frivolity 

A CAROL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY – LITTLE DONKEY

Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road,

Got to keep on plodding onwards, with your precious load.

- Stuff that can’t we get the bus?

SAD CHRISTMAS

 

There is a pain in my chest

Where my heart used to be

There are tears in my eyes

That are blinding me

Let the season pass

Without my participation

Christmas won't be merry

Is my sad anticipation

ON THE EVE OF THE SPECIAL DAY # 2

 

On the eve of the special day

As the fire burns in the grate

I long for eternal goodwill

And an end to eternal hate

CHRISTMAS DREAM # 2

 

I dream of Christmas

Laying in my cozy room

Dreaming of the carol singers

Singing their Christmas tunes

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A DREAM FOR CHRISTMAS (1973)

 

In 1950 Los Angeles, the struggling Hoover Street Baptist Church calls Rev. Will Douglas (Hari Rhodes) of Arkansas to serve as its pastor, with his wife Sarah (Lynn Hamilton), his mother Bessie (Beah Richards), and his four children, he crosses the country just before Christmas in his late father's 1941 Ford woody wagon, which just barely makes the trip to a poor church in California where the congregation is drifting away and the church itself is scheduled for demolition.

Will there be a Christmas miracle?

I AM A DOUBTING THOMAS

 

I am certainly a doubting Thomas

My doubts are quite eclectic

But my disbelieving is such

That I don’t believe in sceptics
