Christmas Greetings

Since some of our blog readers did not receive our Christmas card, I thought I would post it here. Please play along with our game. (I am talking to you Sean!)

Last year Atticus’ Christmas letter was a big hit. In the spirit of fairness and equality, this year’s Christmas letter is being composed by McGwire.

Dear Framily….Oh look a squirrel! Wait. What was I saying? What was I saying? Oh Yea. This year….DOORBELLLLLL!!!!

Isn’t my tail pretty? See I can catch it.

Uhh. OK. How about we skip the letter this year? Instead we are going to have a contest. The following are quotes from movies relating to Christmas. Your job is to name the movie. Email your answers back to us by December 31. We will post the name of the winning family on our blog. We are not sure what the winner will receive, but we are not above regifting any fruitcake that comes our way.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Peace,

Alan, Rebecca, Jenée and Cole

If you are interested in seeing a bit of what we have been up to this year, check out our blog at IntheMitten.blogspot.com

1. “Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words.”

2. "God bless us, every one!"

3. “I'm gonna give you a little advice Claire. Scrape 'em off.” “You wanna save somebody? Save yourself.”
   “Oh, well that's a really nice attitude. Merry Christmas. “
   “Bah humbug.”

4. “It's just like Santa's workshop! Except it smells like mushrooms... and everyone looks like they wanna hurt me...”

5. "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."

6. “He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.” “He does not!” “He does too, he looks like a pink nightmare!”

7. “Why weren't you at elf practice?” “Just fixing these dolls' teeth.” “Just fixing...? Now listen, we have dolls that cry, talk, walk, blink and run a temperature. We don't need any chewing dolls!”

8. I don't know, Scott. You're as healthy as a horse.
   Yeah! Clydesdale!
   So what? You put on a little weight.
   Weight? Does this look like a little weight to you?

9. "Dear George, remember no man is a failure who has friends. Thanks for the wings, Love Clarence."

10. Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny _______ Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ___ down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of _________ this side of the nuthouse.

11. “I know how you feel about all this Christmas business, getting depressed and all that. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of stupid toys or a bicycle or clothes or something like that.”
    “What is it you want?”
    “Real estate.”

12. I want the Turbo Man action figure with the arms and legs that move and the boomerang shooter and his rock'n roller jet pack and the realistic voice activator that says 5 different phrases including, "It's Turbo time!" Accessories sold separately. Batteries not included.

13. Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer. Cheer to all Whos far and near. Christmas Day is in our grasp so long as we have hands to clasp. Christmas Day will always be just as long as we have we. Welcome Christmas while we stand, heart to heart and hand in hand.

14. This is Christmas. The season of perpetual hope. And I don't care if I have to get out on your runway and hitchhike. If it costs me everything I own, if I have to sell my soul to the devil himself, I am going to get home to my son.

15. You're skipping Christmas! Isn't that against the law? (Bonus question: Name the author and book this was based on)

16. A snowdad is better then no dad.

17. That's very funny. Ho, ho, ho. The crooner is becoming the comic.

18. Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see.

19. Annie: Do you like kids?
    Jack: On a case-by-case basis.
    Annie:Do you know how to make chocolate milk?
    Jack: I think I could figure it out.
    Annie:Promise you won't kidnap me and my brother and plant stuff in our brains?
    Jack: Sure.
    Annie:Welcome to earth.
