Please answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: How long has Santa Claus been working at his job? It was 8 years
A:
Eight years have gone by since Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) first took up the Santa Claus suit, and became subject to The Santa Clause. Now Santa is at the top of his game at the North Pole and could not be happier, at least until Bernard (David Krumholtz) and Curtis (Spencer Breslin), the Keeper of the Handbook of Christmas break the news that there is another clause - the "Mrs. Clause".Santa/Scott is now pressed to get married before the next Christmas Eve, or the clause will be broken and Christmas will die away.

Toy Santa takes control of the North Pole with a duplicated army of life-size toy soldiers. He thinks that everyone is naughty, and he plans to give the entire world lumps of coal. Bernard cracks and exposes Toy Santa as a fraud, but is placed under house arrest by the soldiers.Because of the impending end of his contract, Scott undergoes a "de-Santafication process" which gradually turns him back into Scott...
