As pleasant as being scalded by boiling hot water!, 13 February 2004
Author: Angel Meiru

I remember seeing this film on TV once (I think it was on AMC, Why, WHY?) and oh god, it is horrible enough to make "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" look like "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus".

It basically deals with Santa being stranded in Florida and his so-called struggle to go back to the north pole. He does not make too much effort, since all he seems to do is sing corny songs,dance corny jigs with a bunch of kids (whom all must be traumatized for all of these years!) and deal with a bunch of whacked out losers, including a storyteller who looks like the chubby Anna Nichole Smith and married (yes, its true) an anthropomorphic mole that would make even Sid and Marty Krofft scream in rage and disgust.Oh and don't forget the other title character, who looks like a rejected baseball/football mascot.

If you run across this film, AVOID IT LIKE A MAD VIRUS!
