In this movie Santa has a cold. He thinks that there is no Christmas Spirit left so he decides to take the year off. He doesn't think anyone will notice. Mrs. Claus sends two elves south to find some spirit to cheer up Santa. Because they all fix it so it snows where it never snows people start believing again and children all over the world send Santa letters and Christmas gifts. He is so happy that his cold goes away and he delivers Christmas gifts.

I really liked Snow and Heat Misers. I think this movie shows we should always do what we know is right even though it seems like no one else cares.

Dec 15: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

Spoiler Alert
 Christmas Movie Countdown  

This is my favorite Christmas movie. My stuffed penguin Topper is named after this movie. It tells the story of an orphan who gets raised by the Kringle elf family. They used to be toy makers and they teach Kris all about it. When he grew up he took their toys to town but their was a mean mayor who didn't like toys. Kris does all kinds of tricky things to hide the toys from him. The story tells why Santa wears red and has flying reindeer and lives at the North Pole. 

No matter what, Kris didn't give up. You are supposed to follow rules even if you don't think they are good rules so that was kind of naughty but I think he did a good thing.
