Important Life Lessons I've Learned From Holiday Movies
I'm sure we could all use a little levity as we buckle-down for the final preparations leading up to Christmas. Well, at least I know I could use some. So, I decided to think of some of the life-changing lessons I've learned through the years from watching Christmas movies.
- Linus is always right!
- When complimented on your clothing, saying "What? This old thing? Why I only wear it when I don't care how I look" while turning and flipping your hair will make men swoon.
- Aftershave hurts.
- Improperly canned peaches will explode.
- Wanting to be a dentist is a laughable choice.
- It's okay to make fun of your friends as long as you make fun of yourself first.
- Your tongue really will stick to a flag pole on a cold day.
- A nice watch can get you a room at a motel.
- Being sisters is a difficult thing.
- Spaghetti tastes good with maple syrup.
- Strangers in your house in the middle of the night is not always a bad thing. They might just teach you something about yourself.
- It is possible to lock yourself in your attic.
- Magicians are mean.
- Little girls with big hearts are powerful

I asked for a little help on #'s 6, 8, 10, 12 & 13 but no luck! Oh well, I was 8/13:) You'll have to post the correct answers so I can kick myself for not remembering-ha!
I wish I didn't have such a bad memory. The only ones I can come up with are:
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas
3. Home Alone
7. A Christmas Story
14. Is it Miracle on 34th Street?
then when reading Lora's answers it became a duh moment for some, except I've never seen Holiday Inn. Can't wait to see the answers. I know I'm going to be kicking myself too. ;) Good one!

12. Christmas Vacation
:) LOVE Christmas movies!
maple syrup and spaghetti is Eli with Will Ferrell!
Lora's list is pretty dead on, I think -- The watch if from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? Right?
Fun idea!
Here's one: If you drink too many spirits, you'll be haunted by them.
I knew several of them but after reading the other comments I think they've all been answered.
My absolute favorite Christmas movie is Love Actually which I have not watched yet this year but I've been checking the t.v. guide daily in hopes that I don't miss it.
