Remember When…

Here are your answers:

Miracle on 34th St. 

Stephanie came over to check out my trivia and was running out to watch the show! She never came back to answer the questions, so I will give you the answers here.

1. In the film, Santa wasn’t originally hired by Macy’s. Why did he step in at the last minute to be in the parade?

The man who was hired to play Santa in the parade was drunk, so the real Santa stepped in and made him leave.

2. What did Santa do that made the customers at Macy’s happy?

When Macy’s didn’t have an item at their store, Santa directed them to another store. At first, the Macy’s employees were upset, but when customers began to make compliments, they capitalized on the idea.

3. When Santa was just about to loose his court case, what happened to change the court’s mind?

The post office sent all the letters to Santa to the court house as a joke. Because they brought truckloads and because it was a government office, the judge could not argue with the government and said if the government believed him to be Santa, then he must be!

4. The single mom who was the special events director of Macy’s taught her daughter to not believe in Santa Claus. When the daughter begins to believe, what does she ask Santa for as a present for Christmas?

A house and she gets it.

****Bonus Question****
Does Santa sleep with his whiskers “in” or “out”?

He sleeps with his whiskers out “To let them breathe”

1. What was Linus’ speech on the stage? Can you give the actual words or give the scripture reference?

Linus’s “the true meaning of Christmas” quote is Luke 2:8-14 from the King James translation of the Bible.

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
