Well, it's Christmas time again, folks! And by way of tradition (as well as an excuse for being lazy), I thought I'd offer up another yuletide quiz challenge in the spirit of the season. You know, something to mull over while you're kicking back, enjoying your egg nog, hangin' with the family, waiting for the big guy and his reindeer to make their annual stop-over...
Speaking of the Big Guy... how well do you know your Santa Claus movies? The Jolly One's been around for about as long as anyone can remember, yet rarely, if ever, does he take center stage of his own story.

Can you match them together, for goodness sake? Don't be a Grinch now...

been born."

5) "Release me now or you'll have to face the dire
consequences / The children are expecting me, so
please come to your senses!"
6) "Max! Help me! I'm FEELING!"
7) "I've been to New York thousands of times."
"Really? What's it like?"
"Well, there are some things you should know.

7) "I've been to New York thousands of times."
"Really? What's it like?"
"Well, there are some things you should know.
First off, you see gum on the street, leave it
there. It isn't free candy."
"Oh."
"Second, there are, like, thirty Ray's Pizzas.
They all claim to be the original. But the real
