The stranger (spoilers)


Is the strange man who knows everyone and offers the umbrella to Tim Allen in the beginning supposed to be Santa Claus?

reply

Evidently.

reply

I feel sure he was. Well disguised. Usually the Santa figure sticks out like a sore thumb immediately.

reply

Yes. We just watched it with captions on since the kids talk a lot during it. At the end when the Santa sleigh flew it has the guy's name next to what he said. His name slips my mind now. My oldest and I both said "Oh so he must be Santa." We were thinking maybe an angel.

reply

He said that his name was Marty.

reply

He gets into his VW Bug then at the end we see Santa's reindeer pulling a VW Bug instead of a sleigh.
