I really love this movie, too. I hope to catch it again this year.

I literally just saw this (for the first time).
I wanted to see this movie in the first place, because my seventh favorite actor, Daniel Kash, was in it. For the past three Christmases, I would record it on my DVR. But there were commercials. Ever since I got a DVR, I avoid watching movies with commercials, because I don't want anything edited. I always want to watch the original cut. So I always end up deleting it from my DVR.
I bought it blindly from Amazon, 3 weeks ago. I rate it 10/10 and it's in my top 40. It also dethroned The Tuxedo (2002), as my favorite movie of 2002. Jason Alexander was quite good in it. He was charming and loveable. He was convincing, when it came to the dramatic scenes. The most memorable part for me, was when he was in the factory by himself. At first, he was feeling rotten. He had a pipe and was hitting some of the machinery with it. Then he felt spooked, when he heard a child's voice in the factory. It was very effective.
