Virtual Advent Tour

Welcome to Day 1 of the Virtual Advent Tour, sponsored by Kailana @ The Reading World and Marg @ Adventures of an Intrepid Reader.  I've planned a few minutes of fun to kick things off. 

Two of my favorite things are Christmas and puzzles - so I've combined the two and created a collage of scenes from twenty-four of my favorite Christmas movies, TV specials and Christmas TV episodes.  How many can you identify?

Just leave a comment listing the names of the movies and TV shows (no need to identify the specific episode name.)  Comment moderation will be turned on temporarily so you can't peek at anyone's answers.  The winner will be selected by random drawing of all entries that get all twenty-four correct - or come the closest.  The winner will receive a hand-made Christmas ornament.

Entries will remain open till midnight, Monday, December 3rd.  Come back on Tuesday, December 4th to find out who won - and to play along on a second puzzle matching quotes from the Christmas movies with the proper title.


Have fun - and have a Merry Christmas!

    The Dick Van Dyke Show
    It's a Wonderful Life
    Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

  3. Well, I can get about 13 right off the bat but there are a few I have zero idea and wouldn't even know how to cheat to find. Good luck Everyone-Else!
    Happy Advent!

  7. Merry Christmas - and what a lovely idea. I enjoyed looking at the photos, but wouldn't you know it, I blanked out on all the names! I'm at a certain age where this happens frequently now. By Tuesday when the contest closes I should remember them all :-) lol thanks for doing this, it is fun.

  10. I'm haven't seen that many Christmas movies so I wouldn't be any good at this but I love the idea!

  11. I loved this idea! I can never remember movie scenes, but I bet the kids would recognize these. We're starting the tradition of watching a Christmas movie almost every night leading up to Christmas.

  14. I love watching the Holiday movies and generally stay up at night watching one on the Hallmark Channel or ABC Family. My favorite is probably "It's a Wonderful Life!" Thanks for dropping by my virtual advent tour post. Have a very merry Christmas, Kelley at the road goes ever ever on

    What a fun Christmas puzzle. Sorry I missed it!
    We LOVE watching holiday movies at our house. Seriously we love them all. At the top of our list is probably "Elf" and "The Polar Express."
