Gee whiz, take my Christmas movie quiz

Christmas cheer doesn't always come to the party stag.  Sometimes, it arrives with a companion:
Christmas tears.
When the grateful citizens of Bedford Falls rush to George Bailey's rescue at the end of the holiday classic, "It's a Wonderful Life," guardian angel Clarence finally gets his wings, and I get the sniffles.
When Linus quotes from the second chapter of the Gospel according to Luke to explain to bemused Charlie Brown what Christmas is all about, the lump in my throat isn't from an oversized piece of bad fruit cake.
And that song, "The Christmas Shoes," is onions to the eyes.  You know the one : A young boy wants to buy his dying mother a new pair of shoes so she'll look presentable when she meets Jesus, but doesn't have enough money.  I suspect Kleenex owns the song's copyright.
You either don't tune in or load up on the tissues. Those are the easy answers.
As for easy answers in the annual and much anticipated Gianficaro Christmas Quiz, that depends on how intently or not you pay attention during the Christmas season.  For example, everyone knows childlike friends George and Mary reconnect at the high school graduation dance in the gymnasium.  But do you remember the name of the high school principal who greeted George there?
If you know it was Mr. Partridge, pluck a ripe one off the pear tree and celebrate.
So, here's the quiz.  There are only a few layups here, so bring your A-game, and Merry Christmas.
