ANOTHER OLD FOLKS CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

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

 

“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

 

We three Kings

Of Orient are

- not part of a meritocracy

PUT ASIDE YOUR SADNESS

 

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

CHRISTMAS (ACROSTIC)

 

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

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ANGEL IN THE FAMILY

 

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?

 

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
