What would
the holidays be like if you didn't sing your
favorite holiday carol a couple of times a day?
Does your family consider it the holidays if they
do not watch their favorite holiday movie, several
times a week during the holiday season?
We want to
know what's your favorite holiday movie and song?
Are you a sentimentalist who prefers "Silent
Night"? Do you go for something a
little more upbeat, but still traditional,
"Santa Claus is Coming To Town"? Or do
you go for the zany "Grandma Got Run Over By
A Reindeer"?
When it
comes to movies, do you prefer to watch Macaulay
Culkin giving it to the bad guys in
"Home Alone"? Would you rather see
Tim Allen play Santa Claus in "Santa Clause 1
& 2"? Maybe you still enjoy
"Charlie Brown's Christmas"?
Tell
us which is your favorite holiday carol and movie.

Do You Know Christmas?
How
much do you really know about Christmas?
Sure you know all the Christmas songs, you have
seen all the Christmas movies many times, and you
even know all the reindeer's names.
But
how much do you know about the good stuff, the
toys? How did President Abraham
Lincoln factor into the invention of a popular
game; a game that is still played today?
What was President Theodore Roosevelt's
involvement in the creation of the teddy bear?
And tell us what you know about Elliot and Ruth
Handler's children? What, you say you don't
know who their children are? Yes you do!
Take our Christmas
Quiz to find out who the Handler's children
are and to learn more about other Christmas
traditions and toys.
