I loved it! I was a little apprehensive when the brother was about to tell his little sister that Santa did not exist, but changed his mind. Kurt Russell was excellent in his portrayal of Santa, and the elves were hysterical. We immediately recognized their similarities to the gremlins. I am still a little confused why there were so many references to Kate Hudson's children. Starting, of course, with the fact that Oliver Hudson played the father in the movie. All in all, it was a very entertaining movie and would recommend it highly. I actually watched it twice and would not mind watching it again.
