“We’re not just doing this for us. We’re doing it for the kids. For every kid who ever sat on Santa’s lap. For every little girl who left cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas night. For every little boy who opens a package Christmas morning and finds clothes instead of toys. It breaks my heart.”

Said by a Mall Santa in Jingle All The Way [DVD] [1996]

I love this movie. I think I first saw it back in sixth grade, or something like that. (It certainly fits with the timing of when it would have been out on VHS).

Sandra Bullock does these kind of characters so well, but it is more the big, bumbling family that semi-adopts her for Christmas that is the big draw of the film.

“I’ve had a really lousy Christmas, you’ve *just* managed to kill my New Year’s, if you come back on Easter- you can burn down my apartment.”

Said by Lucy in While You Were Sleeping [DVD] [1995]

Day 1 of the Advent Calendar consisting of movie and television quotes relating to Christmas.

I’ve tried keeping them on both the positive and the humorous side, and tried not to repeat films or television series the quotes have been picked from. So, if everything works, there should be 24 different movies or tv series making an appearance until Christmas day.

“Couples should never split up between Thanksgiving and January 2nd. Always have a relationship to see you through the holidays. Always. “
