A Funny, Clean, Well intentioned CHristmas Gem
Review created: 06/11/08(updated 06/12/08)

I have seen many of the Ernest series of films and this is one of my favorites. His character is so down to earth and honest and geniunely funny. There are some great moments (like when he delivers the Christmas tree to his always unseen buddy Verne's house), or when he is driving Santa's sled all over Orlando. It also makes me chuckle to see it snow in Orlando because for the 21 years I have lived here, that has never really happened quite like in the movie. Personally, I must admit that I knew the actor who played the Police officer who was tasked with booking Santa Claus into the local jail, his name was Danny Dillon, and when I asked him about Jim Varney and doing this film with Jim around, Danny had nothing but glowing comments about JIm and his crew. I might note too that this was the first film ever made entirely in Orlando, Florida. Actor Danny Dillon is now up there with Jim at that big actors home in the sky, but I have never forgotten either of them and their great talents to make people laugh and feel at home while doing so. You see, Danny Dillon, use to play Sid Cuehuenga at Disney (MGM, now Hollywood) Studios and he could be found every Sunday where he did well at that establishment making folks laugh. I did manage to have Danny personally sign my copy of this CHristmas gem and he was quite flattered and honored to do so. Danny and Jim were great talents and I will miss their presence in this world but wish them the best on the next level. A Truly wonderful Christmas story to enjoy. WFC
