Klaus

Klaus is a 2019 animated Christmas movie. I watched it on Netflix. I enjoyed this one. It's good to see new shows I think of as fun for both kids and adults. This tells the origins of Santa, but is a completely new re-imagining of the story unrelated to any actual history.

    1. I was impressed to see what I think would've become an annual tradition if it had come out when my kids were little.

  4. You wrote that this Santa story is "unrelated to any actual history" -- I'm not aware of any actual history of Santa, I thought he was fictional. Please explain where I've gone wrong.

    1. By actual history I mean the conversion of the Dutch Sinterklaas to the American Santa, or the evolution of St. Nicholas in general to our current Santa figure. Klaus tells a Santa story in no way related to the historical figure of St. Nicholas. It takes the current Santa and builds a fictional story around him.

  5. I can't remember whether I've seen this. Maybe we'll put it into the rotation. We've watched Die Hard 2, Deck the Halls, Die Hard 3 (I know, not Christmas, but my favorite), Christmas Chronicles 2, The Snowman (animated), and I think Die Hard for tonight's choice.

    1. I'm googling Deck the Halls. I haven't seen the Christmas Chronicles yet but have it saved to watch maybe today. I love The Snowman! Magical!

    I'll put this animated one on the list. :)

    1. All these Christmas-focused shows this time of year must be tedious for those who don't observe the holiday. :(
