Quotes 

• Lanny : [Repeated line]  This is so tinsel!

• Magee : You'll like him. He graduated top of his class at Kringle Academy.

  Lanny : [Trying to open door]  A little help here?

  Magee : It was a small class.

• Lanny : Oh there he is. Great Garland! I heard Dasher had a cousin. But I always thought he was a myth!

  Thrasher : I am a myth.

  Lanny : Huh?

  Thrasher : Tell anyone I exist, and you won't exist.

  Wayne : I've been working Prep and Landing for 227 years. Believe me, the thrill is gone.

  Wayne : Yeah? Sometimes you don't get what you want.

• Wayne : We are just tiny ornaments in a gigantic tree, slaving away. And for what?

  Lanny : For what? For him. Just look at that face, Wayne. Just imagine his face when he wakes up tomorrow morning. Think of all the memories he'll pass on to his children, and his children's children. The passion may be gone for you, Wayne, but it's not gone for him.

  Wayne : You'll learn, rookie.
