THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE SANTA SUIT (2010)

 

Drake Hunter (Kevin Sorbo) is CEO of Hunter Toys, turned the company he inherited from his father, from a cosy quality manufacturer into a ruthless, uncaring, profit hungry business.

He employed all the production line staff on 39 hour weeks therefore avoiding the need to provide full benefits and he was no better during the holidays he showed his staff no festive generosity, no bonuses or time off.

However he gets the scrooge treatment when he meets who he presumes is one of the store Santa’s, Kris Krandall (Derry Robinson), who magically transforms Drake into a likeness of himself and as no one recognizes him as CEO he is forced to live in a shelter run by Nancy Baxter (Jodie Dowdall) and work as a Santa for Norm Dobson (Jason Blicker) in his toy store, with weird would be-actor Sebastian (Darrell Faria) as his Elf.

While working at the store he meets a quiet young girl called Gemma (Brianna Daguanno) and between his interaction with her and the kind and gentle influence of Nancy at the shelter he reassesses his values and priorities in life.

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 226

 

There was an old woman,

As I've heard tell,

She went to market

With Her eggs to sell;

She went to market

All on a very hot day,

And the eggs were spoiled

So, she couldn’t give them away

ARE YOU WEARING A TIARA?

Are you wearing a tiara?

Sparkling with jewels no less

Oh, sweet little Essex girl

Daddies’ little princess 

PHOEBE GODDESS OF THE MOON

 

Phoebe Goddess of the moon                                                      

Radiant, bright, prophetic

Titan goddess Phoebe

With an oracular intellect

Reigned unchallenged at Delphi

And Gold-Crowned was epithet

PICKUP # 10

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

“I’m a Doctor, Dr Love

Would you like some medical fun?

There are 206 bones in the human body,

Do you want another one?”

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 2

 

I love you by any measure

You might wish to use

But I don’t know how to express

The way I feel about you

And the affect you have on me

So, I hope this gives you a clue

If you were a movie blockbuster

You would win the Oscar

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF

 

Contrary to popular belief

In the USA it needs to be said

That a Turbine, is not

What an Arab wears on his head
