Another old folks Christmas party
Old friends
well met, hail and hearty
Thoughts of
the past would produce a tear
But a
shared memory brought some cheer
And while
remembering the good old days
A glass they
would all gladly raise
Another old folks Christmas party
Old friends
well met, hail and hearty
Thoughts of
the past would produce a tear
But a
shared memory brought some cheer
And while
remembering the good old days
A glass they
would all gladly raise
“Merry Christmas
And
goodwill to all men”
Does that
irritate you?
I’m not
alone then
The men
have done nothing,
Remember
Since the
final BBQ
Back in
September
It’s the
mums
Who spend the
whole of December
With
everything to do
And
everything to remember
While they
sit
TV remote
in hand drinking beer
Where is
the mums well deserved
Christmas
cheer
Why can’t
we sit down?
On our
overworked bums
“Merry
Christmas
And
goodwill to all mums”
We three Kings
Of Orient are
- not part of a meritocracy
Put aside your sadness
Lose
yourself in the madness
That
is Christmas,
Come
spend it with us
Come
and you will see
That
with cherished company
The
season will be a little brighter
And
the weight on your heart a little lighter
Candles burn on advent crown,
Holly
boughs are cut,
Red
ribbon binds the wreath, and
Incense
fragrances the air
Spices
make the senses tingle
Treats
await the patient lip, as
Merriment
is close at hand,
Anticipation
keenly felt, as the
Special
day grows near
Sarah (Tracey Needham) and her estranged sister Beth (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are reunited after their father Buddy (Ronny Cox) suffers a mild stroke.
Buddy,
who's never accepted the loss of his wife Lorraine (Meredith Baxter), wants
only one thing and that is to return home for Christmas.
With sweet memories of a life gone by, Sarah makes an impossible wish that her mother could be there too and by morning it is as if a winter prayer had been answered and bearing a message of hope, healing, and everlasting love, a miracle has arrived in the form of their mother Lorraine.
Are you wearing a Christmas Waistcoat?
Oh yes it’s
a real crowd pleaser
But
waistcoats are all rather Dickensian
It makes
you look like Ebenezer
