I know many Littens have been watching Christmas movies by the bunches , I haven‘t watched any.
Maybe ai need a dose of Elf!🎄

Tamra We watched last night and it really is so funny no matter how times we watch! It gives a nod to several familiar Xmas story themes. 1y
Leftcoastzen @Tamra definitely a contemporary classic. It made me feel better 1y
Tamra @Leftcoastzen we could try to send Buddy to your house! 😜 Can you imagine? 🤭 1y

#unpopularopinion I don't like Elf the movie, but I love Elf: Buddy's Christmas Musical. I think Jim Parsons was perfect for Buddy and I think the songs from the Broadway musical (which I also really like) help move the story along. I also love the claymation style. #wintergames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer

Laughterhp I‘ve never heard of the musical. I can‘t stand Will Ferrell, which is why I don‘t like the Elf movie. 3y
EclecticBookLover @Laughterhp that's part of the reason why I don't like it, too. This version though is sweet and has some funny bits for adults. It's been airing on cartoon network this month, if you have the channel. 3y
Laughterhp I don‘t have cable but I‘ll see if I can find it on Hulu or something. 3y

Will Ferrell brought Buddy the Elf to life in one of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time. I'm not even exaggerating. Everyone knows the movie. But what's better than a movie? A short, feel-good book you can read before bed with or without children! The film has been adapted into a short and sweet illustrated version, keeping the most memorable quotes.

A nice and short read about Buddy the human elf. I'm confused as to why the cover says New York since there was no mention of that but it's a nice story about celebrating differences and what lies in our hearts and actions 😊 #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

Guys!!! On Sunday I told my mom that today was "Answer the phone like Buddy the Elf" Day and she did it!! ? The best part? She's never seen the movie ??

A must watch every Christmas! So many quotes..."Not now, Arctic Puffin!" "Watch out, the yellow ones don't stop." "You sit on a throne of lies." "Bye, Buddy. Good luck finding your dad." "You smell like beef and cheese." "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?" "I just like to smile. Smiling's my favorite." "It's just nice to meet another human that shares my affinity for elf culture."

JackieSmith I've been answering my classroom phone with "Jackie Smith, what's your favorite color?" since Thanksgiving! 7y
Beckys_Books @JackieSmith that's hilarious! 7y
Reviewsbylola "You sit on a throne of lies" is my favorite! My four year old watched this for the first time this year and constantly talks about the raccoon attacking Buddy and Buddy eating the gum off the railing even though "Nick" told him not to. ??? 7y
