The best Elf quotes are those hilarious one-liners as Buddy, a human raised by elves, journeys from the North Pole to New York City to meet his dad. The comedy film was directed by Jon Favreau using a screenplay by David Berenbaum. Spreading Christmas cheer for all to hear, Elf opened in theaters on November 7, 2003.

In Elf, Buddy (Will Ferrell), a 30-some-year-old human who was raised as an elf at the North Pole, learns one day at Santa&#39;s Workshop that he is not an elf, rather a human who was abandoned as a baby. Santa (Ed Asner) explains that his father, who is on the naughty list, is Walter Hobbs (James Caan) <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-live-in-brooklyn/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">who lives in New York</a> City. Distraught, Buddy leaves Santa, Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) and his other North Pole friends to journey to the magical land of New York City.

But things are not as cheery as Buddy had hoped in the big city. While he does meet his father, his father&#39;s wife (Mary Steenburgen) and a half-brother (Daniel Tay), Buddy soon finds himself ill prepared for the real world. Thankfully, he does make one friend, a young woman who shares his affinity for elf culture, Jovie (Zooey Deschanel). But when Santa arrives in New York City and needs Buddy&#39;s help, Buddy finds out that his unique set of skills are something to be proud of.

Elf is just one of several great Christmas films from throughout the years and a favorite of fans everywhere. What&#39;s your favorite Elf movie quote? Don&#39;t be a cotton-headed ninny-muggins, vote for your favorites all right here!

For some time now, Christmas has been a terrifying holiday masquerading as the &quot;most wonderful time of the year.&quot; As much as we may love Santa Claus and his predecessors for shelling out presents to good boys and girls during the yuletide season, we mostly ignore that it&#39;s a reward system with traumatic consequences for a social contract none of us ever agreed to.

Yet, Santa is the least offensive (aside from being the de facto overlord) of these characters as he only deals with those who end up on his &quot;Nice List.&quot; But what happens to those who end up on his Naughty List?

Here's to Beer!

Beer

The best Christmas beer includes a wide range of domestic and imported beers. Many breweries are making special seasonal beers to appeal to holiday drinkers. Some of these brews combine various Christmastime flavors like vanilla, ginger and cinnamon to give the beer a nice, high-quality flavor. Others are just dark and stout, offering up a classic winter beer to please even the pickiest beer connoisseur. This list includes some of the best beers offered during the holiday season, so be sure to vote for the ones you've tried and loved (and vote down the beers you don't think even Drunk Santa would imbibe).Some of the most popular, perennial favorite Christmas beers include Tröegs Mad Elf (a wonderful mix of sweet and sour), Goose Island Christmas Ale (a spicy, aromatic brown ale), St. Bernardus Christmas Ale (a creamy, fruity holiday beer) and Anchor Brewing Company's "Our Special Ale," which is slightly different each year. Anchor's been making their Christmas beer since the mid-1970s, by the way. Whether your taste runs more to a lighter, Belgian blend or a dark, hearty stout, there really is a Christmas beer for everyone.One thing to note about many of these Christmas beers: The alcohol content may be slightly higher than a traditional, domestic beer. Keep that in mind, because once you find the perfect Christmas brew, it's quite easy to overdo things. Nothing squelches a great holiday gathering among friends and family like a killer Christmas hangover. Ho ho ho!
