Any
day now, they will start. TV networks
will broadcast classic Christmas movies, and they won’t stop until Christmas is
over. There will probably even be a
marathon of A Christmas Story, as
there has been every year since ... please don’t ask me, because I can’t
remember.
In
order to prepare for this yearly film festival, I have prepared a little quiz
that will make you aware of how much you need to bone up on your Christmas
movie knowledge, so that you can get up and go to the kitchen at any time
during any of the shows without missing anything important.

Uhm... I guess I need to watch more than the ones made before 1970. I didn't even know about the other ones. :(
I loved the multiple choice answers. :D
To agirlcandream --
You just have to be an avid TV watcher around Christmas time. You can soon become a holiday movie expert.
There are some newer holiday movies that I don't know much about, either, because, for some reason, they don't appeal to me. I know all of the old classic ones, though.
