Guess my 5th 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.

[11:40] hobbes8u: Yes miss
[11:41] Mallory: swiggity sweet. For the audience, would you please clarify which of the winter holidays you celebrate? or are you just a celebrator of all holidays?
[11:41] Mallory: (what a horrible question, you have a CHRISTMAS blog)
[11:42] hobbes8u: Well though I am not officially Jewish I do love to light the menorah, although I only have three candles at home and it’s pathetic
[11:42] hobbes8u: But yeah I love most holidays, especially Christmas
[11:42] Mallory: have you considered going to Savers? i hear they have menorahs on sale 2 for 1
[11:43] hobbes8u: Really? In Utah?
[11:43] hobbes8u: Maybe that’s why they have so many

[11:45] Mallory: if that wish comes true i expect a very fancy dinner.
[11:45] hobbes8u: Of course

[11:49] Mallory: Marci O from Salt Lake City writes in asking: What is your favorite holiday food?
[11:52] hobbes8u: Oh I would have to say cheese, beef stick and crackers. But you have to get that Hickory Farms spicy mustard. It’s divine.

[11:53] Mallory: yummo
[11:53] Mallory: !

Go forth ye strong
To perilous destinations. May

For without these tools. If you don’t see?
The terrible darkness will
