Plothole:
[KRIS (spoken)]
Jingle! Jangle!
They'll expel me for sure if they find two elves in my locker
[JINGLE (spoken)]
We're here to make sure you don't screw up Christmas, boss
[JANGLE (spoken)]
That's right!
[NOEL (spoken)]
Hey, Kris
[KRIS (spoken)]
Noel!
[NOEL (spoken)]
Uh, were you just talking to your locker?
[JINGLE (spoken)]
Don't worry, boss, she can't see us. But if she finds out you're Santa, Father Winter's spell will be broken!
[JANGLE (spoken)]
That's right!
Why is he worried if no one can see them??
The Weird Part:
Later, when Becky explains the plot to Tom:(paraphrase)
"...Santa's out of touch with the kids, so he turns into a teen to...reconnect with the youth?"
In other words, an OLD MAN turns into a TEENAGER to get to know a bunch of kids. Normal enough, right? "Fellow Kids" vibes.
Then how come he has a teenage love interest??
Then later, in Take Me Back, Kris reveals to Noel that he's Santa, presumably turning back into an old man. BUT THEN THEY KISS??? Like, what??
I've just been thinking, and it's really weird to me...
What is the largest size tire I can fit on my 87 pick up without having to make any alterations or anything?
I'm a music teacher who puts together a December series of Christmas songs on unusual or interesting instruments. For today's episode, I created an arrangement of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" in a minor key featuring an assortment of electronic instruments - a stylophone, a vintage Crumar synth, a theremin, a taishogoto, and an Otamatone. I hope you enjoy!
North Polish
Seriously, my whole childhood through teenage years I have been stoked about the arrival of MTII. What happened? Was it a proposal that never saw fruition, or was it an elaborate myth the whole time? Where the hell is my Mount Trashmore 2 ????????
-
He gives toys and/or coal away for free to every child in the world, independent of their socioeconomic status. This is essentially redistribution of property from those who have the skills to create it (elves) to those who have need of it (children)
-
He wears a lot of red
-
His name sounds very Eastern European
-
There is ostensibly an absence of money in the North Pole
-
He is independent of any single state government
-
He has created a system of transportation that could potentially benefit billions but doesnβt have the capital and capabilities to build it out.

Mass surveillance
Itβs suspect to me that the US didnβt rebel against the Kringle legend during the Red Scare
Consider the following:
- He knows the innermost thoughts of every person
- He rewards the good and punishes the wicked
- Offerings are left to him under a sacred Asherah tree
- Songs are sung in his praise
- Pleas and petitions are directed at him
- He dwells in an inaccessible place associated with height and the furthest reaches of the north
- He is said to ride upon a flying chariot pulled by cherubim (or magical caribou, whatever)
Conclusion: Santa Claus is credited with the attributes of, and worshipped in the manner of, a deity.
Further conclusion: The cult of Santa Claus is definitely avodah zarah and all of his images should be burned in the town square. Thus may we purge evil from our midst.
I am 100% serious about this.
