Another tis' the season movie. It is pretty good in my opinion. You have the young woman scientist with a kid who is shacked up with Santa's son. He asks her to marry him just before Christmas. This leads to Santa and the Mrs. coming out until Christmas Eve, accompanied by a young female elf. Her parents are also there and her dad is a real piece of work. He is some kind of well respected scientist who believes kids should be told the truth no matter what. The mom, a shrink of some kind, trails along until Santa and Mrs. joy of living starts to corrupt her (in a good way of course). There is a co-worker named Edward that her daddy keeps pushing at her as a much more suitable husband than Santas's son. Old Edward takes some pictures of the son with a female elf which causes her to dump sonny. George Wendt plays Santa as he has in several Christmas movies and does his usual bang up job. At the end of the movie everyone actually gets to see Santa and Mrs. take off in the sleigh, which by the way uses no reindeer but some super power source. All are over joyed except for a very stunned daddy.
