Poem 265: Movie Time

 Less than ten days before Christmas and I haven’t got any of my Christmas movies in

I’ve watched quite a few by warming up on “Hallmark” to begin

This is a tradition that my wife and I observe every year

Looks like I’m in for a lot of double features seeing this holiday is so near

We both have our favourites and we watch them together

It’s something enjoyable to do during this cold winter weather

I’m trying to squeeze all this viewing in between my watching sports

Taking in all that football and hockey is cutting my “movie time” short

The way my “Blackhawks” have been playing maybe it’s time for a pause

Take in some entertainment and enjoy some movies about “Santa Claus”

We watch most of the classics and make sure we sample something new

Between now and Christmas, I don’t know how many we will view

I looked online for the top “Christmas” movies of all time

We will watch on regular tv or catch some on “Prime”

“A Charlie Brown Christmas”, “A Christmas Story” and “Christmas Vacation” are my first three

All these classics for me are a “must see”

If you like “Ralphie” when he was a boy

Check out “A Christmas Story Christmas” I’m sure you’ll enjoy!

It’s thirty nine years later and most of the original cast is there

It turned out to be a good movie, so I thought I should share

“A Christmas Carol” is one that we all heard about

There are so many versions, even “The Muppets” put one out!

“It’s A Wonderful Life” must be the most played movie I would say

At this time of year it is probably being played everyday

I enjoy the comedies, I can’t help myself

“A Bad Moms Christmas”, “The Santa Clause” and of course “Elf”

So many films based on this theme

Some are very nostalgic and then others go to the extreme

There are many “Horror” pictures about this holiday as a matter of fact

Then there’s that one question every year that continues to distract!

I have taken that step and I have to insist

“Die Hard” shouldn’t be appearing on anyone’s “Christmas” movie list!

Looks like my evenings are planned in the next days ahead

Watching some late night “Christmas” flicks and then off to bed

If I get too busy, perhaps there won’t be a new poem that will appear

Just in case, I want to wish you all a “Merry Christmas” and a “Happy New Year”
