This is a holiday classic that will live on for a very very long time...we all know the words to the song (even though I don't really understand some of it still to this day) but can we talk about this movie on a serious note?

A) why are this kids still in school on Christmas eve? like even back then i don't think they were in school at that time.

B) where the heck do they live!? It looked like it had been snowing for a while and then in the next minute it's starting to get too warm for Frosty to live? I don't even think the weather in Calgary changes that fast!

C)How the heck are these children dressed! half of them are wearing shorts and it doesn't even look like Karen is wearing anything other then a coat!

D) yes it would cost a lot of money to get to the north pole from where ever they are but come on don't you think the train guy would be watching them so they didn't just hop on the train like they did? and how convenient there was a refrigerated compartment right there and how they knew it was one by looking at it? was this normal back in the day?

E) All I could think about as they were in the hot house was "Some people are worth Melting for" (Frozen)

even after all that it is still a classic that I will be showing my kids some day!

thanks for reading
