The Joys of "Surviving Christmas" Quiz

This quiz is about the movie "Surviving Christmas." I thought it was cute, and not just because I'm a huge Ben Affleck fan. I have to warn you, some of the questions are tricky. So I hope you paid close attention to the movie. Good luck!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Missy's biological father?

Answer: Skippy

Missy's father, Horace Vanglider, lets loose on her mother, Letitia, while at the Valco's home. He informs his wife that he's put up with her crap for 25 years, and he knows that it was Skippy who got her pregnant. Missy's mother is played by Stephanie Faracy- you might remember her as John Candy's wife in "The Great Outdoors". David Selby plays Horace.

He is better known as the cunning Richard Channing on "Falcon Crest." I used to love that show.

2. If I told you that my Doo-Dah was coming over for dinner, who would I be talking about?

Answer: My grandfather

Bill Macy plays the part of Doo-Dah. Drew hires him to portray his grandfather because the Valco family was missing one. Doo-Dah's real name is Saul and he's a stage actor from the local theatre.

3. How old was Drew when his father left home?

Answer: 4

When Drew finally confesses to Alicia about his sad family life, he tells her that his dad walked out on him and his mom on Christmas Day, when he was only four years old.

4. During the opening credits, what joyful Christmas tune is being played?

Answer: It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

I just love this song. Everytime I hear it I just want to start decorating my house up for Christmas. Which is a bad thing since Staples now plays it when the school season starts back up in their commericals.

5. What is the name of the company that Drew works for?

Answer: Bar Code Media

Drew worked for Bar Code Media. This is seen quite a few times in the background during the scenes of Drew at work. The product we see him trying to market was for farm-fresh, fat-free, pre-spiked egg nog in a bottle.

6. What expensive present did Missy receive as a pre-Christmas, Christmas gift?

Answer: 2 first class tickets to Fiji

Drew buys Missy tickets to Fiji so that they can escape for the holidays and spend Christmas alone. Missy gets upset that Drew never wants to be around family, and she breaks up with him and returns home to her parents. As a makeup gift, Drew has his assistant send Missy a Cartier bracelet.

7. Personally I would have taken him for free, but the Valco's would only take Drew after he offered them how much money?

Answer: $250,000

Drew even had his lawyer draw up a contract that entitled him to sleep in his old bedroom, which just so happened to belong to Brian. The contract expired at 11:59 pm on Christmas Day.

8. What type of meat did Tom have to replace?

Answer: Salami

Drew ate the last of Tom's salami, so when the family went out Christmas shopping together, he went into the deli and had to buy more. I thought his response to Lenny the butcher about having "A pain in the butt (cleaner version), about six feet tall in my house" was pretty funny.

9. Where did the Valco family shop for their Christmas tree?

Answer: Poor Don's Treeland

Once Drew decides on the perfect tree, the sign "Poor Don's Treeland" comes into view.

10. Because Drew never had a sister, what name does he give to her when he creates her character?

Answer: Consuela

Drew comes up with idea that Alicia can play the role of Consuela, the cleaning lady from Ecuador. Drew only calls her by this name a couple of times. Once being at the dining table as he hands out the scripts for the family.
