  • Mrs. Cratchit: He means GHOSTS, you doofus!
  • Scrooge: No, he’s right, I meant the booze. I’m a horrible boss.

 

Lucy Van Pelt: “I don’t mean to be cynical, but Christmas is a gigantic commercial racket run by a big eastern syndicate. But I’ll still try to have a Merry Christmas.”

  • Department stores: It’s December 24 and that means our Valentine’s Day sales have started!

  • Zack Emo: Dude, you’re REALLY killing my memories of that show. [unfriend Rudolph]

 

Fred Gailey: “In court defending the guy who thinks he’s Santa. Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus, and the post office delivered them to this guy – my client — who claims to be Santa – which by my VERY CONVOLUTED “legal logic” means the whole government recognizes this guy — Kris Kringle to be Santa Claus! I rest my case!”

  • Judge Henry X. Harper: Uh, yeah, how do I put these in legal terms you can all understand? NO.
  • Fred Gailey: OK, full admission, I never went to law school.
  • Rudolph: Your honor, since we’re talking law, I’d like to file a lawsuit against Santa and his reindeer. The elves have terrible working conditions, I am constantly bullied becomes of my red nose and banned from Reindeer games.

  • Scrooge: Cool, thanks.
  • Robert Gillis: Hopes this column made you smile and wishes all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays and an awesome new year!
