  1. I did so much better on your quiz than I did on Carl's. I only got two wrong! (Anyway...) Thanks for doing this whole advent calender; it's been a lot of fun. Merry Christmas!

  2. Doh! I cannot believe that I missed the last one. That is by far my favorite episode of WKRP in Cincinatti. I can still remember as clear as if it was yesterday the first time I saw that episode and was laughing so hard that I was crying hysterically.

    Great quiz! Much more accessible than mine, although I figured that at least half of my 6 were dead giveaways for those who've loved Christmas movies in the past.

  12. This was a really fun quiz, even though I got half wrong. I guess I'm the grinch. Or maybe the scrooge.

    Merry Christmas!

  13. I am glad everyone enjoyed the quiz! I borrowed it from the paper, sadly. It seemed like fate. I had no time to work on it, and then they printed it, and then I actually sat down and read the paper. I was at work and was quizzing the person I work with. It worked for me!

    Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks to all that joined in and participated in the Calendar. I can't wait to do it again next year! Best wishes!
