Make sure you have tissues nearby!

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2018)

Don't get me wrong, this is a fabulous film. While it gets a 10 from me, it does come with some warnings.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older and more synical, but I feel that this movie almost ruins some of the beautiful aspects of Christmas. I really don't like how this movie keeps portraying Santa as a real person but then lies about it. I guess you could say that I can't hear the bells anymore, but I just don't understand lying to a child. When I do have to tell my children the "truth" about Santa, I will do it in a careful way. I believe that when families do decide to tell their children the truth about Santa Claus, it should be done in a way where the magic isn't destroyed. Perhaps I'm missing the point of the movie and maybe that's the beauty of this movie, but I know I was scarred when I found out the truth about Santa.
With all of that being said, this is a joyous magical film, but also a little scary. I would have the tissues nearby! 10/10
