Rats, I originally had Sim as #1 but Gene Lockhart threw me because he seemed older than Albert Finney and George C. Scott, which were the only other two I knew.

Now that I think about it, I think Rich Little played every character in the Rich Little Christmas Carol.

Thank you, TBone, it was fun! And the bball game is tied with 36.2 to go so great timing.

I guess I'd better go back and edit my answers so that folks like Pea who like to play the morning after can do so. I may just post the questions as a quiz for the bored at large as well. Kay had mentioned she might look in and play tomorrow, too. Might be easier than trying to play and avoid all the spoilers in this thread. As the Byrds once sang and Dylan once wrote, "I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.."

Not that I got so many right, I hasten to add.

HOLIDAYS AROUND THE WORLD

I love going to Walt Disney World during the holiday season. There are so many "extras".
One of these is the "Holiday Storytellers" at World Showcase in EPCOT. Each of the
countries represented in World Showcase has an actor putting on a little presentation
in which some of that country's Holiday customs and traditions are explained. I'm going to give you a description of the storyteller/custom, you tell me the country.
1 point for getting 1 right, 3 points for getting 2 right, 5 points for getting all 3 right.

1-A gnome who lives in the barn and protects the family farm. On Christmas Eve the family leaves a bowl of Christmas porridge
in the barn for him. (Gnomes LOVE porridge.) The farm animals get special Christmas feed, and sheaves of grain
are mounted on a pole to feed the hungry birds. Norway

2-A friendly witch is the rather unlikely storyteller in this country. She was an old woman sweeping her front steps
when the Magi came by and asked for directions to Bethlehem - though they were following the star.
The asked her to join them, but she "minds her own business" and refused to follow. She soon regretted that decision,
but by then the star was gone, and since then she roams the world looking for the Christ Child, and leaving gifts for
the children on January 5 (eve of the Epiphany), just in case she's found the child. - Germany

3- In this country, the "Daruma seller" describes how they celebrate the New Year rather than Christmas.
The Daruma sellers sell these Daruma dolls, that are pretty roly-poly, and even when dropped on their heads
still end up right-side-up. The Daruma dolls have eyes without pupils, and by tradition at New Years you make
a wish and paint a pupil in the Daruma's left eye. Then when your wish comes true, you paint in the other pupil.
If it doesn't...you can try again the next year. Japan

THE COUNTRIES AT EPCOT ARE MEXICO, NORWAY, CHINA, GERMANY, ITALY, UNITED STATES, JAPAN, MOROCCO, FRANCE, UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA

OK, down a bit of that spiked eggnog to fortify yourself and join in the holiday singalong.
Hope you know the words, especially since you don't hear these introductory verses all that often.
I'll give you the rare intro verse, you tell me the name of the song. 1 point for 1 correct answer,
3 points for 2 correct answers, 5 points for getting 3 right, 8 points for all 4.

1-Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that may last - Have yourself a merry little Christmas?

2-The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA - NFC

3-Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me. - Silver Bells?

4-I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you - I'll be home for Christmas?

No spoiling since I'm answering after midnight....

good grief, I've seen Wonderful Life and WC several times, but not recently.

$1000 was a lot back then, so maybe he lost $1K
No clue on WC

Never saw European Vacation....saw Vacation and Vegas Vacation...but missed this one!

Just once. But it was a very short time ago. Rosemary Clooney was fabu!
My sister and I had a whole act worked out to do the Sisters number. And insisted on performing it whenever possible.

I agree, I loved Rosemary Clooney in this movie too and the Sisters song.
I think this is one movie of which they haven't done a remake, thank goodness.

Epcot is one of my favorite places at WDW...

One mistake first time I went was doing "Body Wars". It was an interesting concept, but it made me queasy and sick from the motion. I dint realize it included action for the viewing audience.
