Guess my 20th favorite Christmas movie from this screenshot of the film. For an extra challenge, the quote from the blog title is now a quote from the previous day’s movie or special, not the current day, so you only have the screenshot to go by. Only your first guess counts. Send your guess to whatthehelldoesrantmean@yahoo.com. Also make sure to comment this post so your guess counts. Three points for the first to correctly guess the film or special, one point for all correct guesses afterwards. The person with the most points at the end of the contest gets a $50 Borders Gift Card for the new year.
