And the Winner Is . . .
To help reduce potential fistfights, riots and other forms of workplace violence, in our latest poll we sought a peaceful resolution to a highly controversial question that inevitably pops up at this time of year. We asked:
What is the best holiday movie of all time?
The votes are in. And the winner is . . .
A Christmas Story, with 32% of the votes. The first runner-up was It’s a Wonderful Life (28%), followed by A Charlie Brown Christmas (14%).
Here are the complete results:
1. A Christmas Story (32%)
2. It’s a Wonderful Life (28%)
3. A Charlie Brown Christmas (14%)
4. (Tie) Elf and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer (8%)
6. (Tie) How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street (4%)
8. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (2%)
9. Frosty the Snowman (0%)
Given the potentially hazardous activities depicted in our winner, I feel compelled to make the following recommendations:
1. Exercise extreme caution when handling firearms over the holidays so as not to “shoot your eye out.”
2. Avoid placing your tongue on metal objects while outdoors.
3. Refrain from bringing scantily clad leg-shaped lamps into the workplace to reduce potential claims of harassment and/or bad taste.
One final question: How in the world did Santa Claus Conquers the Martians beat out Frosty the Snowman?!
HAVE A JOYFUL AND PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
