When Santa's sleigh broke down, it just happened right over Central Park, did it? Where Buddy happened to be? That's quite a coincidence, given that Santa is everywhere in the world on Christmas Eve.

I'm sorry, but it's a massive plot hole and leaves me skeptical about other elements of the story. It's just not feasible.

In some countries, it is the 3 wise men who deliver the presents all on one night and they do it on the 6th January, not Christmas day. So this means the who world can be staged over two seperate events.

I also heard that some countries opt out altogether. But obviously that is ridiculous.

and gets very upset about it.

Yet he seems to know how cut down trees, how blowtorches/nailguns work and other elaborate traps to attack the wet bandits with.

For all the comedy violence, the fact is that two criminals are trying to break into a house containing a young child.

I'm pretty sure if they'd got hold of him they'd have bummed him, tbh. :-(

2nd movie is even more odd.

You have Tim Curry have an unhealthy interest in this young man.

He even sneaks into the room. Then later on hookers are offering their services to Kevin. :rubchin:

I mean everyone needs a hobby, but it's starting to become worrying.

crowded island, when I have requested a radar service and been advised that, without a squawk, I have no hope as, 'there is no primary return'. This might be a ruse to persuade me to turn the transponder on to Charlie. Like that's going to happen.

I've said before I just don't understand the humour.

It's feels like I should laugh at I am being told this is funny. But without it being funny.
