THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE (2006)

 

Santa Claus (Tim Allen) had problems, it was only a few days before Christmas and production was lagging, Mrs. Claus (Elizabeth Mitchell) was about to give birth to their first child and wanted family time, and the Counsel of Legendary Figures had called an emergency meeting to discuss Jack Frost (Martin Short) and at the end of the meeting he is left with Santa, on probation and under his supervision.

To appease his wife, he flew her parents (Alan Arkin and Ann-Margret) up to the North Pole but had to pretend to them that they were in Canada.

He also brings his ex-wife Laura (Wendy Crewson), her husband Neil (Judge Reinhold), and their daughter Lucy (Liliana Mumy) to surround his wife with family.

But while Santa is busy with the family Jack makes mischief inside the toy factory and hatches a plan to become Santa and with Santa juggling so many things, he manages to trick him into invoking the little-known Escape Clause and wish he'd never become Santa.

DOB?

 

In Rome a monk living about 530 AD

                   A mathematician and an astronomer

Was given the task of calculating

                   And reforming the Christian calendar

In essence to pinpoint with all precision

                   The date of Jesus Christ’s birth exactly

A miscalculation was discovered later

                   He was four years out unfortunately

Christ was born on January the sixth 

                   According to the scholarly Egyptians

The date of Christ’s death was thought

                   More important to the early Christians

Rome selected Christ’s birth date to be

                   On the twenty fifth day of December

To coincide with the old pagan festivals

                   Like that of Mithras and Saturnalia

The sixth of January is Christmas day

                   For the apostolic church from Armenia

But its the following day that’s Special

                   For the Orthodox Church of Russia

CHRISTMAS ISN’T JUST ABOUT PRESENTS

 

Christmas isn’t just about presents

I have a far deeper meaning in mind

Christmas marks the birth

Of the saviour of all mankind

A FAMOUS CHRISTMAS STORY

A famous Christmas Story

Contains a well-known character

Who died eating Macaroni

He’s the Ghost of Christmas pasta
