 		Are we supposed to match the people to the quotes, or do we have to find the christmass specials for the people as well?

 		I think you have to name the special for all of them, cause I don't remember any of those characters being in the same special as quote #5.

I could use a hint on this one, too. I thought I had it, but Snowball said 'Nope', and #4 was mostly a guess for me..

EDIT: Nevermind, I think it was one of the other ones I had wrong, waiting for confirmation.

 		I agree....I was feeling stupid as well. The problem I was having is that some of the quotes are impossible to find on the internet, and a couple of the characters pop up in google in some more obscure christmas specials. So i was thinking, well, some of the christmas carols in the first one were very obscure, so some of these christmas specials might be really obscure too...

However, after my third crack at the answers Snowball told me that they're all "major christmas specials that everyone knows"....I guess I don't count as "everyone" cause the only one of these that i've seen is the one from quote #5. I just didn't watch alot of TV when I was a kid.

EDIT: How on earth is someone supposed to figure out the password for puzzle 3??? I can't find the answer to that anywhere...anyone have it yet?

 		I'm stuck on password 3 as well. I have friends who've seen it, but they don't remember. Someone's got it though, I've seen '1 viewing' beside the puzzle 3 forum a couple of times now.

 		sigh, was too late for points for puzzle one Sad I'm in Europe so I slept when I should've corrected one answer. siiiigh. still. I'm loving this.

So much for "christmas specials everyone knows" I got 2 with help from friends in America but seriously, those two I've never heard of let alone seen :/ Either I'm christmasly challenged or it's a cultural thing xD I suspect the first...Very Happy

 		I just got Snowball's correction about the password for puzzle 3 as well, but I'm not finding this one any easier than when I was looking for the wrong thing. I did find 2 references to:

reindeer dance
