Ok, I know this movie isn't a work of cinematic art, but I love it. I can't help myself. It just isn't Christmas to me unless I watch this film.

Long live Jim Varney! I watch this movie instead of those other "Christmas Classics". What it lacks in production value it more than makes up in heart and hilarity. Though the concept of Santa selecting his replacement and the way the gift sack works was well thought out. Maybe cause it debuted on my birthday or cause I crushed heavy on Noelle Parker but I've been enjoying this silly movie for years.

This isn't an Oscar worthy movie by any means, but it is a fun Christmas movie. Ernest movies have their own style, and sense of humor. If you don't like it I understand, but if you like Earnest P. Worrell than you will enjoy this.
