Every christmas i have to follow the same traditions that were rammed down my throat as a child, i have to stand and make endless mince pies (even though my husband is the only who eats them!!), i can only play my christmas cds when wrapping presents and i have to work my way through all of my christmas dvds, (even if its only the end of october!!).

One of my favourite christmas dvds is"THE SANTA CLAUSE" & "SANTA CLAUSE 2", both starring Tim Allen (as in home improvement fame) and Judge Reinhold ( really love him as he starred in one of my favourite films when i was a kid, VISA VERSA).

THE SANTA CLAUSE;

Santa (the being and not the clause!!), falls from Scott Calvins(Tim Allen) roof and dissapears leaving his red suit behind, so after being persuaded by his son(Peter Boyle) he dons the suit. After delivering some presents, santas 8 reindeer pilot the pair back to the North Pole, where Scott discovers that by putting on Santas suit he must accept all of Santas duties!!!

Over the following year Scotts friends question his sanity as he seems to gain weight rather quickly and a very attractive white beard!!!
The only one who believes in him is his son who thinks his dad is perfectly suited for his new job!!!!

Starring; Tim Allen,
Judge Reinhold,
Wendy Crewson,
Peter Boyle.

Running time; 93 minutes (approx)

Extras; Making santa snacks,
So you wanna be an elf,
Santa's helper game.

The first film is a wonderful example of Disney magic with lots of festive cheer thrown in for good measure!!!

SANTA CLAUSE 2;
Scott Calvin has been santa for 8 years, and his loyal elves think he is the best one they have ever had until his world is turned upside down on the discovery of a second clause, he must marry by christmas eve or he can no longer be santa. Also he discovers that his son Charlie has landed himself on the "naughty" list!!!
The rest of the film is Tim Allen at his best with some of the funnys moments i have seen in a childrens film (especially when Scotts blind date, who is seemingly obssesed with christmas, stands up in a packed restuarant to sing a song she wrote herself about christmas,to a Shania Twain song!!!)

All of the original cast returns for the sequel (minus Charlie played by Peter Boyle).

The second film film also welcomes Elizabeth Mitchell ( of lost fame), as a love interest for scott.

Running time; 100 minutes (approx).

Extras; Inside the North Pole with Curtis ( santas inventer elf!!),
True confessions of the legendary figures,
Directors tour of Elfsberg,
Directors commentary,
Deleted scenes,
Gag reel,
"Save santa" game.

The second of these two films is as good (if not better!!) as the first and returns with all of the Disney magic.

I believe this two disc box set retails for around £14.99 and being rated as U is an ideal addition to anyones christmas library!!!
