Late on Christmas Eve Calvin and his son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd), hear “such a clatter” on their rooftop. They run outside only to see a round, plump red-suited man slide from the chimney to a sound “thud” at their feet After looking for his identification, they find a quaint business card stating, “Santa Claus, North Pole.” On the back it read, “Put on the suit The reindeer will know what to do.” Not only do they find a business cvd, but also ten, not so-tiny reindeer, on the roof. After Santa Claus mysteriously disappears, Scott and Charlie go to the rooftop to investigate. After meeting all die reindeer, Scott and Charlie take off for the ride of their lives delivering toys. In the midst of toy delivery Scott puts on the Santa suit Little did he know that by putting on the suit he fell under movies with special time of “The Santa Clause.” It states that by putting on the suit you assume all the responsibilities, liabilities and possibilities of being Santa Claus. Upon returning home after his wonderful tour of the North Pole, Scott brushes the whole incident off as an amazing dream. Charlie, on the other hand, proceeds to tell everyone he sees that his father is Santa Claus. Charlie’s mother Laura (Wendy Chewson) and stepfather Neil (Judge Reinhold) seem to believe that Charlie's “hallucinations” are definitely unhealthy for him. They believe Scott is becoming delusional and turning himself into Santa Claus. Over the course of the next year, it’s obvious that something weird is happening to Scott. He can’t stop his urges for cookies and milk. He shaves every morning and by the afternoon a full grown beard appears on his face. After Laura files to have Scott’s custody privileges taken away, Scott falls into a deep depression. This depression is lifted when Charlie takes off with his father on Christmas Eve. In response, Laura and Neil head up a man hunt with the help of the local police. In the end Laura and Neil, however irrational it seems to them, believe that Scott is Santa Claus too. “The Santa Clause” is a fantastic tale that is appealing to all ages.
