Christmas movie quote of the day: The Santa Clause

Neil: What about Santa's reindeer? Have you even seen a reindeer fly?


Charlie: Yes.

Neil: Well, I haven't.

Charlie: Have you ever seen a million dollars?

Neil: No.

Charlie: Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean is doesn't exist.

- The Santa Clause

This is probably one of my top 5 favorite Christmas movies. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Here is another of my favorite quotes from this particular movie:

Scott Calvin: What if don't buy any of this Santa Clause thing? What if I choose not to believe it?


[a dead silence falls upon the workshop]

Bernard: Then there would be millions of disappointed children around the world. You see, children hold the spirit of Christmas within their hearts. You don't wanna be responsible for killing the spirit of Christmas, now would you... Santa?

I love this movie. Here is a man who takes no responsibility for his actions, who complains and blames and feels sorry for himself. For his son's sake, he takes a chance on something totally contrary to anything else he's ever done, and discovers in the end that real happiness and fulfillment come in serving others. 
 
I think a lot of people nowadays need to learn this lesson better. Including me.
 
Wonder if I can get my hands on a copy of this movie this week...hmmm.
