10 Beloved Christmas Movies With Worrying Morals

6. The Santa Clause - If You Kill Santa, You Get To Become Him

santaclausesized I would be very interested in seeing a scientific study that examined how many fathers decided to stop dressing up as Santa for their children after this movie came out. Sure, it might be cute to put on a red suit and stomp around on top of the house a bit, playing the big guy for your kids' amusement. Until little Johnny spies you on the rooftop and pushes you off your ladder. Tim Allen was certainly a good choice for this role, since he can play the nice, normal guy who likes his life as is pretty well. Let's be real, though. Anyone else on the planet would be thrilled to be Santa. Immortality! Magical powers! Flying reindeer! And, let me see if I've got this straight, I only have to do this job for part of the year? Sign me up! Frankly the whole deal sounds so fantastic, it would only be a matter of time before the role of St. Nicholas devolves into a Roman Emperor-style murder fest, with each new ruler of the Elf village lasting about a week before his successor claims the throne.
