Christmas Question 3
"Santa Day" Night At The Movies - In the 1984 film "Gremlins", Phoebe Cates's character hates Christmas because her father died in what manner?
The correct answer is 'He fell down the chimney while pretending to be Santa.'
In this film Billy is given a cute furry creature called a mogwai as a Christmas present, and names it Gizmo. The golden rules for keeping mogwai were given to Billy's father in the shop, and were carefully passed on to Billy. They are: don't expose them to bright light (it hurts or can even kill them), don't get them wet (it makes them multiply) and, whatever happens, don't feed them after midnight (they turn into evil gremlins). The word "mogwai" comes from the Mandarin Chinese for "evil spirit".
The film was originally even darker than it already is. One scene involving a severed head had to be cut in order to prevent this black Christmas comedy having an R rating.

Seasonal Weather in the USA - Winter provides spectacular scenery for this Rocky Mountain city, flanked to the north, east, and southwest by mountains that are covered with snow for several months. A northwest flow occasionally brings lake-effect snow showers in the winter, although a prolonged event contributed to a record-breaking 18-inch snowfall that paralyzed the city during Christmas of 2003. Otherwise, the weather is fairly dry, broken during the summer months only by the occasional "pop-up" thunderstorms and rare severe weather events, such as the tornado that tore through the downtown area in 1999.
The correct answer is 'Salt Lake City, Utah'
Only Salt Lake City and Denver are located in the Rocky Mountains, and only Salt Lake City is flanked by mountains on both sides. Salt Lake City also does not see the level of thunderstorm activity that Denver does.
