Can it really be Christmas again? I would tell you how many Christmases I have been around for, but I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I would rather stir up your competitive juices with some Xmas Trivia to see if you can answer these.
By the way, Merry Christmas everyone!
Here are this month’s questions:
- In the classic movie “Miracle on 34th Street,” Santa sends children to the store across the street if Macy’s does not carry their favorite toy. No longer there, what was the name of the other store?
- First shown in 1984, what Oscar winning actor played a memorable Scrooge on a TV adaptation of “A Christmas Carol?”
- In another Christmas season classic “It’s a Wonderful Life,” what does Jimmy Stewart find in his pocket to show he has returned to his real life in Bedford Falls?
- What member of a famous acting family played Scrooge every year on radio from the mid 30’s to the late 40’s?
