I want to wash my hands, my face, my hair with snow.

From the Irving Berlin musical, "White Christmas".
I knew all that time spent watching those old musicals with my mother would pay off someday! -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
“I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.” ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg, paraphrasing Sarah Moore Grimké
"It's Christmas Eve! It's... it's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we... we... we smile a little easier, we... w-w-we... we... we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!"

Keeping with the holiday theme--LANGUAGE ALERT FOR MEADE
Christmas is more about warding off evil spirits than Halloween. What Christmas shit in this room resembles anything Christian, huh? It's all neo-pagan magic. Christmas tree, a magical rite ensuring the return of the crops. The mistletoe is nothing but a conception charm. Fifth century Christians jacked a Roman Winter Festival - twelve days in December when the nights were long and the Earth was ruled by the demons of chaos. And fucking Santa Claus? This fat voyeur that watches you all year long to make sure you live up to his standards of decency before breaking into your house.
A hint, this quote is from a remake of a better (but still crappy) movie of the same name; not as bad as Snata Claus Conquers the Martians, but still pretty bad.
A film that teaches the important lesson that it's never a good idea to choose the childhood home of a deranged killer to convert into your sorority house:
Well Jim, the quote is not from that film (from 1974 I think), but from the remake (of the same name) in the early 2000s (possibly 2006), but I'll give it to you. I'm not sure if there was a similar quote in the earlier film, but I don't think so. an interesting aside, as I recall, the 1974 film was first released under a title with Silent Night in it (Silent Night, Evil Night, perhaps), but it was later changed for general release, and had another name (that I don't recall) when it premiered on TV.

You've got it backwards. It was a Canadian production released originally under the title "Black Christmas". Warner Brothers changed the title to "Silent Night, Evil Night" for the US theatrical release. -"BB"-

This movie already been done, but it's one of my favorite Christmas comedy movie quotes, so I'm going to use it anyway:
We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse."
This quote I believe is particularly apropos this past election season:
Now, shut up! Shut up, all of you! Now listen to me, you hicks. Yeah, you're hicks too, and they fooled you a thousand times like they fooled me. But this time, I'm going to fool somebody. I'm going to stay in this race. I'm on my own and I'm out for blood.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
