Santa Clause

Well, it's not quite Christmas yet but we've started watching Christmas movies -- not planned -- but as I'll explain, forced.

Last year we watched our copy of Walt Disney's "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen.  Tim plays Scott Calvin and he becomes Santa Clause after the "real" Santa falls off his roof.  Lots of comedic adventures follow leading to a satisfactory ending with his son and his ex-wife and her husband all becoming believers.

We wanted to watch the follow up movie, "Santa Clause 2" last year but, since we didn't have a copy, I requested one from our library.  Do you know how many other people also requested it?  Too many for us to receive it before the holidays so I went back on the list and requested it for November of this year and it arrived about a week ago.

So...we rewatched our copy of "The Santa Clause" and tonight watched "Santa Clause 2" so I can return the library copy for all those people out there that want to see it again this year.

In "Santa Clause 2" our new Santa discovers he has 28 days to marry if he wants to remain as Santa -- talk about pressure!  While he's off pursuing a wife, the workshop is in an uproar.  I had never seen this second movie and it was a great follow up to the first one.  So...if you're ready to start thinking about Christmas, this is a good way to start.  pazt
