Did Santa Claus get you a house on Long Island for Christmas?
Yes! I am S[COLOR=“Red”]usan Walker[/COLOR]. Well done, astorian! and welcome back!
I remember Miracle on 34th Street, but don’t know any of the characters’ names. Good job, astorian! Start a new thread for December, please.
Looks like a drive-by solving. You take the next one, EH.
Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?
I saw the movie once and, as much as I loathe Christmas, thought it was pretty cute. But like EH, I didn’t remember any of the characters’ names.
Not even Kris Kringle? Or Mr. Macy?
It’s been ~36 years since the one time I saw it, so no. If you’d asked me cold, last week, I don’t think I’d have been able to tell you that Macy’s was involved. And I doubt I would have remembered what name Santa was using.
