16 Facts You Never Knew About "The Santa Clause"




You probably have a list of Christmas cult classics that you watch each and every holiday season. For me, these films include The Holiday, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, and, of course, The Santa Clause. There’s so many things I love about this last film. Sweet and innocent Charlie, the split-family drama, and the magical ending are definitely some of them. It would also be a crime to not mention how phenomenal Tim Allen is in his role of Scott Calvin/Santa Claus. It’s no wonder that this wildly successful film went on to produce two sequels, and I’ll definitely be watching this movie in the coming weeks. So if you love this Christmas classic as much as I do, read ahead for 16 facts you never knew about The Santa Clause!











1. The original film was never supposed to include a child as one of the main characters. 


The original movie was also supposed to be called “Such a Clatter.” Thank goodness for the title change and the addition of Charlie. 




2. The main role of Scott Calvin/Santa Claus was written around Bill Murray. 


I could totally see Bill Murray as the gruff Scott Calvin!











3. The role of Scott Calvin/Santa Claus was originally offered to Chevy Chase. 


The actor was forced to turn down the film due to scheduling conflicts. 




4. Tim Allen was almost not hired for the leading role in the film! 


At the time, Disney had a policy of not hiring anyone with a criminal record. Tim was arrested in 1978 and served two years and four months in prison before being released. But Disney chose to hire him anyways for the sake of the film!

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2. You’re drunk and your oven is broken… And you really want pizza… 3. So you deep fry your pizza Drunk you is so smart. 4. A beautiful work of art This person got drunk and turned into Leonardo da Vinci.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
