My children ages 3, 8, & 15 absolutely loved this movie! In my opinion its the best Christmas movie made! Its heart-warming, funny, magical, and its Kurt Russell as Santa Claus. Which he makes the absolute BEST hands down Santa! My parents even enjoyed it! It does deal with parental loss, and if your kids are in your opinion grown enough to understand accidents happen in life, and thats just the way it is than you and your whole family will LOVE this movie! Its a must watch in our eyes!!
