      Daniel R A Christmas masterpiece. Watched the heck out of this as a kid and still holds up today. Comforting, cozy and christmassy 🤷🏻‍♂️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review John S A childhood favorite of mine. The nostalgia hits hard with this one. The tale of a family whose father is drilling for oil and it is causing chaos for Santa's workshop. Much like others state the son is the worst character. As per the holiday tradition we get an interesting take on how Santa is able to fly around the world in one night and of course the family saves the day! Christmas is saved once again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This Movie Is A Lesson Best Learned About Believing In Many Dreams Involving Possibilities That Are Beyond Mankind's Notions And Cynicism About Hopes/Wishes. WHILE: Really Understanding The Season Of What Miracles Are. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite holiday movies. I've watched it every year since I was a kid. Now my kids watch it with me. ð???
