Here another true story I tear up everytime it is played cause por old grannie got killed going home.



Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house Christmas eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinking too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go,
But she forgot her medication,
And she staggered out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack,
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminating claws marks on her back.

Grandma go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been taking this so well,
See him in there watching football,
Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black,
And we just can't help but wonder,
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Walking home from our house Christmas eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table,
And the pudding made of pig,
And the blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours,
Better watch out for yourselves,
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

LMAO,Poor Granny goes through hell at Christmas.
We love that song in Essex.

And the other two are really beautiful too

The movie starred the girl that is married to Brad Paisley ....I think her name is Kelly Williams Paisley ... it is definitely a movie to watch with a box of tissues.

CHRISTMAS SHOES......


It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Try to buy that last give or two
I'm really in Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he had
A pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want it to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

They counted pennies for what seems like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good in our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I gotta buy her these Christmas shoes

So I lend the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want it to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I know I won't regret some help as he thanked me and ran out
I know that God sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want it to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I want it to look good

If Momma meet's Jesus tonightMERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...

I have to say the first time I heard this My heart sank and it really touched me
thank you for sharing this
big hugs
Shirley
