Question;

How many here remember when they actually believed in Santa Claus?

[RosieCotton]

Pleaaaaase tell me no one was supposed to take that movie seriously! I didn't watch the special features, so I didn't get the scoop, but he had to be the WORST parody of a hard-boiled cop in the universe. And a checked suit with a polka-dotted tie? That wasn't *ever* fashionable, was it? Or was he just supposed to be soooo sartorially clueless as to be adorable? As if anything could make him adorable. Gack.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I wondered what happened myself. I thought perhaps everyone simultaneously went to sleep.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a blessed Christmas.

Love the globes at either end of the Merry Christmas tab Scott. I did a crosstitch Christmas stocking very similar one year.

I am sitting here trying to get "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" out of my head by singing "O Rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay, cause Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day!" Perhaps I should just turn the radio on!

I also love "Baby it's cold outside".

Favorite movie for Christmas, "The Grinch who stole Christmas" (the old one). Why? Because it's such a tradition, I remember being excited as a child each year when that came on. I especially loved little Cindy Lou Who who was only 2!

And tet68, I guess I beat you on the Christmas bonus, I got a turkey!! Woohoo!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I think I actually believed till I was about seven. My younger brother and I used to leave out cookies and milk for Santa, and were very excited the next morning to discover them gone, with a thank-you note in their place. Little did we know it was our creepy teenage brother all the time who ate them.

[RosieCotton]

Well...for the most part, we didn't do Santa Claus. I guess we did when I was realllly little and before my parents converted to Catholicism, but for the most part, since we celebrated St. Nicholas Day in early December...it didn't make sense to have a mythical version of him show up later in the month.

We did believe the Christ Child brought our gifts...which in a way He did, so the adjustment was a bit easier as we got older. ;-)

Ha!

[Eurotwit]

Merry Christmas everyone.

God jul.

[scott7278]

Wasn't that the worst? Actually, if you want another "must see" Joe Don Baker MST3K movie, you've got to see "Final Justice." He stars as Sherriff Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III, and he is called upon to transport a prisoner to Italy.

He wears ridiculous garb in that movie, too, and for some reason the Italian authorities allow him to assume his powers over there.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Merry Christmas to you, too.

God jul.

What language is that?

[scott7278]

What did you think of the argument between him and the kid? I was like, "You've got to be kidding me!"

I also liked the following dialogue:

James Arthur Cummings: The coffee is cold and you are a lousy butler.

Butler: I am not a lousy butler.

James Arthur Cummings: You are a lousy butler.

Butler: I am not.

James Arthur Cummings: I say you are a lousy butler, the coffee is cold.

Sheriff...man, oh man!

For myself I don`t think I was much older than 4 or 5,I can just barely remember a Christmas eve/night listening for Santa.
I have a brother 2 years older than me and although I can`t remember the exact age I do recall when he told me that it was our parents putting gifts under the tree.
Seems kind of funny now,I think it is probably close to 20 years now since I have had a Christmas tree.
In keeping with the theme of the thread that was always one of the best moments,going through the woods finding a tree.
How things change with time.

[RosieCotton]

Takes reaallll talent to write dialog of that caliber, doncha know. We're not worthy!

[RosieCotton]

The fools!

[darkangel82]

That was Danish, I think.

[RosieCotton]

I'm the oldest and didn't have a lot of older friends...so I'm sure I believed until I was six or seven, at least. I do remember listening for harness bells, and noise on the roof. And I seem to remember Mom and Dad made noises to make me THINK I heard Santa.

[scott7278]

I just remember putting the milk and cookies out and then trying to get to sleep -- but I don't remember how or when I finally found out.

[scott7278]

During the closing credits:
Hoyt Axton, singing: "Well, my-my-my-my-Mitchell, what would yo' momma say?"
Crow: "She'd say he's not mine, you can't prove it!"

[Eurotwit]

It is Norwegian. I think the old Norwegian word jul is origin for the English word, yule.

Cheers.
