Did the Spanish mom at 50:35 actually suggest to her daughter that they PRAY to Santa Claus? Does anyone else find that slightly... messed up?
At 12:40, Santa is watching the kids from France sing. The look on his face is seriously disturbing. Like, parole violation, not allowed within 250 feet of an elementary school disturbing. TEACHER, bad touch!!!

"Of course I love you, sonny. Just as much as your parents. Because no one loves a child as much as his parents."
Well done, Mr. Claus.

0:02:46 I always laugh my ass off when I see their operator...who is "Wilbur", the guardian angel of that insane couple of painfully irritating, song-addicted newlyweds...who have somehow evaded a "real honeymoon" for several years after being married. It's in "Once Upon A Honeymoon". The guardian angel Wilbur must ensure that at long last, this married man and woman will have some proper (or improper ;-) marital intercourse in order for him to earn his wings in Heaven. Makes sense to me, but I'm getting off topic.
DMT approved!!

Y'know? Where EVERY other culture with a Santa Claus puts him?
You just HAD to be clever, didn't cha Mexico? OH A little workshop at the North Pole wasn't GOOD enough for MEXICAN Santa! No, they had to give him a freakin' gold and crystal palace in mother lovin' OUTER SPACE!! And no immortal, magical elves for THIS Santa's toy factory: Only a full staff of kidnapped, singing, multi-cultural children will do!
And to HELL with Mrs. Claus! What use was she, anyway? No, only Merlin the Wizard: Mentor of King Arthut and nearly omnipotent bender of reality is an appropriate companion for Mexico's new and improved Santa :P
