Wondering if folk would be interested in trying to identify somewhat obscure holiday references - I’m thinking about lines from songs/movies - and seeing if folk can identify them. Figured either the line or the source should have some reasonably obvious connection to the end of year holidays.
Here are a couple:
MOVIE - “Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho.”
SONG - “Snow, John - snow!”
Hope those aren’t too easy or too obscure. Make a guess, and post your own.
“Send somebody to the Stop’n’Go. We need some celery and a can of fake snow, a bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite, a box of tampons, some Marlboro Lights.”
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walkin’ through the snow can break your heart
But stopping doesn’t help, so on I’ll go …
In case anyone is interested as this thread quickly passes, it is spoken by Nancy Griffith on John Prine’s x-mas album, following Silver Bells. One of our favorite x–mas albums - I thought one of the many John Prine fans around here would catch it.
