1. “Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas.”
2. “I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine.”
3. “I’m going to find the answer to a question that’s puzzled the world for centuries. Does Santa Claus sleep with his whiskers outside or in?”
4. “Did you have to borrow a reindeer to get down here?”
5. “Whoa, Dad! You’re flying!” “It’s okay, I’m used to it. I lived through the ’60s.”
6. “Zuzu’s petals!” 
7. “Give me one reason, one good reason, why we should spend our last two hours in Florida looking at the sisters of Freckle-Face Haynes, the dog-faced boy.”
8. “It’s a major award!”
9. “I don’t deserve to be so happy.”
10. “Come around with your husband, we’ll have a blizzard. Ha ha ha ha.”
11. “That’s one thing I hate! All the noise, noise, noise, noise!”
12. “Do innkeeper’s wives have naturally curly hair?”
