Hi guys. I guess everyone's pretty busy now that Christmas is coming in less than a week. But if you do have the time to squeeze in a little me or family time, might as well spend it by watching a really cool Christmas movie.
I, no, my family and I have this "thing" for Christmas movies. We've probably watched all the Home Alone movies a hundred times, but this is also one of our favorites: The Santa Clause trilogy. Nope, not a typo. There's def an "e" there, I checked.
This is actually a pretty old movie. The first one was shown late in 1994 and the third one at around 2006.
So, The Santa Clause tells the tale of Scott Calvin, a divorced businessman who couldn't care less about Christmas. Sort of like Scrooge with a suit on instead of pajamas. When he mistakes Santa Claus, walking on his roof, as a burglar, he accidentally scares him off and sends Santa falling off the roof and virtually dying. I don't know if he actually died or what because he just, well, disappeared. That's when the "clause" comes in. A clause, left as a card on the suit, that says that whoever gets a hold of the Santa suit and wears it has the obligation to be Santa Claus, and of course, Scott just had to try it on. And that's how all hell broke loose, which included growing a white beard despite shaving. Scott now has to learn to love Christmas and be the "big bearded guy" or just end up destroying Christmas for everyone else.
Well, I've spoiled quite enough about the movie. All in all, it's a great family movie. Very Christmas-y with a dash of Disney magic. The second one (the Mrs. Clause one) and the third (the one with Jack Frost as the villain) are great too, but I think the first one is the best. Well, I think in most movie series, the first one is always the best. The Santa Clause embraces every aspect of Christmas that a child always thinks about, with a few good lessons to learn along the way.
What about you? Any fave Christmas movies? Lemme know. Cheerio!
