A question for you GOW; why would my answer for question 267 be more suitably placed in the position occupied by my answer to question 261?

Christmas Eve checkup.
261. Auld Lang Syne is ALMOST right. Check out the last song on 'Christmas Vacation' and this should make sense.
262 is Frosty
263 is not tinsel. For a hint, the 'something sad' is a funeral.
264 is Virginia O'Hanlon. If you haven't read it yet this holiday season, I suggest you go on Google or Wikipedia and read it, it's a classic.
265 is Thunder and Lighting
For 266, focus on "Christmas story" as in Bible
267 is not Satan. Most adaptations have this villain with just one head and crown, while he should have seven heads and crowns.
268 is three.
269 is a matter of staring at it and maybe Google.
270 is Snoopy. The year is not mentioned in the contest, but it is just the year of the original broadcast.
For 271, I mean Rudolph, the TV special
272 is Twelfth Night.
And for Aussiedrongo's question: I was kind of hesitant when I saw this thread had 665 replies. I didn't really want to post anything, but it's one of those things you have to deal with. Unless you design hotels, because I have seen hotels that skip from Room 665 to 667.

264. Well from what I am finding the last song in Christmas Vacation is Star-Spangled Banner.

Too good GOW. No hesitation from me because I didn't even realise until after the fact.

271. Something to do with Silver and Gold. That just happens to be Montana's state motto (Oro y plata), and it is what the character Yukon Cornelious is searching for. Silver and Gold are plentiful in Montana, yet scarce in the North Pole.

261. Given that Auld Lang Syne is sung at the end of It's A Wonderful Life and The Star Spangled Banner is sung at the end of Christmas Vacation, then the strange feature common to both films would be songs inappropriate to Christmas.

261. Both songs began as poems and were later set to music. Auld Lang Syne was a poem by Robert Burns and The Star Spangled Banner has its roots in a poem by Francis Scott Key.

271. Montana's state motto, "Oro y plata", means "Gold and silver". There is a song in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" called "Silver and Gold".

269. They all describe St. Nick in the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement C. Moore.
"His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples: how merry,
His cheeks were like ROSES, his nose like a CHERRY;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a BOW,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the SNOW;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a WREATH.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook when he laugh'd, like a bowl full of JELLY..."

261, 264, 266, 267, 269, and 271 are all correct. Also, older questions 226 and 232 are both correct. Only 263 remains in the Christmas list.
Now, to kick off MMXI, a new set of 6.
273. Where would you find 3 books that have the letters “TAS”, “RI”, and “VE” inside them?
274. What is the significance of this list, to the best of my research? Germany, France, United Kingdom, the North Sea, France, Saudi Arabia, United States, China, United States, Germany
275. Take a book of the Bible. Change the last letter of the book one letter down the alphabet, and then rearrange the word. You now get an article of clothing that would not have been in biblical times, at all. What is the book/clothing?
276. What now has a new logo, with a small circle inside of a larger circle, except the larger circle is incomplete at the left, and the smaller circle is incomplete to the right?
277. When Theodore Roosevelt said he is as “fit as a bull moose”, what kind of moose is he as fit as?
278. Take the name of a US city. Anagram the city, and you now get a word meaning 'determine'. What is the city?
