So my family was snuggled on the couch this past Sunday afternoon, drinking homemade hot chocolate and watching "The Year Without Santa Claus," one of those clay-mation movies from the 70's before Pixar and anything related to a computer. The premise of the story is Santa gets a cold, therefore he gets grumpy and thinks no one likes Christmas anymore. Because of this, Santa decides he doesn't want to do Christmas this year. So Mrs. Claus sends 2 elves and Vixen down to the children to try to find some hope for Christmas in order to encourage Santa to do his job this year. Well, problems start to happen, Vixen gets really sick, the elves get lost, its a big ol' mess! That's when the following conversation between my husband and I begins:
Byron: See, if Mrs. Claus would have known her place, these bad things wouldn't of happened.
Sommer (glaring) Are you blaming these bad things on Mrs. Claus? If Santa wouldn't have gotten lazy, none of this would have to happen in the first place.
Byron: Its totally Mrs. Claus's fault. She always has to step in and do things that aren't necessary!
Sommer: But once again, Santa has to be nagged into doing his responsibilities, and I'm sure Mrs. Claus got sick of that and so she had to take matters into her own hands.
Byron: Santa would have gotten it done eventually. Mrs. Claus just needs to relax.
Sommer: But Mrs. Claus couldn't of relaxed because when Santa gets a sniffle, then world shuts down. But if Mrs. Claus gets full-blown pneumonia, she still needs to feed the elves, make the toys, and bake cookies for Santa's caloric intake!
That's when I realize...I don't think we're not talking about Santa and Mrs. Claus anymore! ;)

Too FUNNY!
I'm pretty sure you two were NEVER talking about Santa and Mrs. Claus. Seems like all sorts of veiled double meanings hidden in there.
I never realized that show was so deep!
