Christmas Movie Alphabet

Introducing the Christmas Movie Alphabet! 

My objective here was to exclusively stick to cinematic characters, not just generic Christmas icons like Santa Claus, an elf, etc. I cheated a little with Sally, the Pumpkin Queen. And yes, I know John McClane was missed. I tried to stay fairly "family friendly." Have fun guessing who is who. I did include a key at the bottom.

The Periodic Table of Weird Al

"Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" is easily my most anticipated movie since 2011's The Muppets. Given this, I was inspired to create The Periodic Table of Weird Al, a tribute to the insanely talented king of musical comedy. 

I've been a fan of "Weird Al" since I first heard "Eat It" back in 1984 and I've continued to closely follow his career and purchase every Al-bum he's released. It was a joy to laugh at and fully appreciate his outstanding catalogue while working on this project. "Weird Al" is a treasure.
