Guess my 8th favorite Christmas movie from this screenshot of the film.

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.

Holiday Interview

[13:19] Hobbes8u: A holiday interview starring Melissa, my coworker
[13:19] Melissa: yay!
[13:19] Hobbes8u: If you had to change Santa’s look how would you do it?
[13:20] Melissa: Hmm, good question. I think I’d make him look like the brawny paper towel guy, only with white hair, and a goatee. yes. Then all the moms will want to visit Santa at the mall…:D
[13:21] Hobbes8u: woah then he’d be a quilted quicker picker-upper. I reckon that’s what they would like about the new Santa.
[13:21] Hobbes8u: And it’s just sick!
[13:21] Melissa: lol
[13:22] Hobbes8u: What does the best Christmas meal include?
[13:22] Melissa: Breakfast Casserole that my mom makes. It’s the absolute best-est meal ever. Also, I think that wine glasses should be used, no matter what you’re drinking
[13:23] Hobbes8u: indeed
[13:23] Hobbes8u: If the elves were to strike a month before Christmas, what would you do to get things back on track?
[13:26] Melissa: Hm, Well, I’d probably liquor them up a bit, That seems to make most people happy, and give them an extra piece of coal each day :)
[13:26] Hobbes8u: elves like coal?
[13:27] Hobbes8u: remember elves are not furnaces
[13:27] Melissa: lol, to keep them warm while they work :D
[13:27] Hobbes8u: Oh I see
[13:27] Melissa: In their little coal burning fireplaces or whatever.
[13:27] Melissa: Seemed like a good idea. LOL
[13:27] Hobbes8u: Your favorite Christmas cuss word?
[13:28] Melissa: Jebus, does that count? My mom always looks at me like it’s a cuss word, she’s scandalized by a lot of things I say though LOL
[13:28] Hobbes8u: good scandal is always always good
[13:29] Hobbes8u: Okay any last holiday thoughts for the readers
[13:29] Melissa: Watch out for Robot Santa, because unlike other Santa’s, he’s Paradox proof.
[13:30] Hobbes8u: excellent
[13:30] Hobbes8u: people have just been giving advice right and left from Futurama
[13:30] Melissa: lol
[13:30] Melissa: That’s because Futurama Rocks!
[13:31] Hobbes8u: indeed
[13:31] Hobbes8u: Thank you for your time
[13:31] Melissa: :) My pleasure
