(Eight gazes heavenward, waiting for Santa)
UPDATE: The Answers are up at Kailana’s site!
For those of you playing along at home, you may or may not be aware that this month Kailana and Marg have been hosting their Blog Advent Calendar 2007. Kailana and I are splitting today, December 24th. Christmas Eve.
We have decided to join forces and put your knowledge of Christmas to the test. Since our magical number is 24, we have each come up with 12 questions to see how well-versed you are in elf culture. My 12 questions test your knowledge of Christmas movie classics, both old and new.
To reduce the temptation to skip ahead, I have placed the answers to my 12 movie quotes on Kailana’s blog, after the jump. See how many you can guess without using the internet! 😉 You will find the answers to Kailana’s 12 questions after the jump on my blog. What could be more simple?
So here I have assembled some of my favorite one-liners and snatches of dialogue from favorite Christmas films. Though they may not all be easy, I can assure you that these are quotes that I really enjoy from said films, not just the most obscure ones I could find just to give you a brain freeze. Good luck!
1. “And his best idea is about a peach that lives on a farm.
What’s more vulnerable than a peach?”
2. “But I don’t understand. Why are you doing this? I mean, what’s in it for you?”
“Forty-five minutes all to myself.”
3. “You used up all the glue…on purpose!!!”
4. “Why don’t you kiss her instead of talking her to death?”
“You want me to kiss her, huh?”
“Ah, youth is wasted on the wrong people.”
5. “All I want is what I… I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share.”
6. “A little flirtation is harmless but you’re dealing with fire here. The fidelity bank and trust is a tough creditor. You make a deposit somewhere else, they close your account – FOREVER!”
7. “I hate toys! And toys hate me! Either they are going or I am going and I definitely am not going!”
8. “Fog’s as thick as peanut butter.”
“You mean pea soup.”
“You eat what you like and I’ll eat what I’ll like.”
9. (This is a longer one and it kind of gives it away, but it is a favorite)
“Because a little thing can effect them. A slight disorder of the stomach can make them cheat. You may be a bit of undigested beef, a blob of mustard, a crumb of cheese. Yes. There’s more gravy than of grave about you.”
” More gravy than of grave? “
” What a terrible pun. Where’d you get those jokes? “
“Leave comedy to the bears…”
10.
“So what’s this big news, then?”
“We’ve been given our parts in the nativity play. And I’m the lobster. ”
“The lobster? ”
“Yeah! ”
“In the nativity play?”
“Yeah, *first* lobster.”
“There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus? ”
“Duh. “
11. “These mashed potatoes are so creamy….Mary mashed them…”
12. (And the one that we all will be quoting as we lay our heads on our pillows tonight)
“I believe… I believe… It’s silly, but I believe.”
