Fred Claus

Everybody has that one relative who can't help but cause problems over the holidays. Even Santa.

I think I would have been a really cool Santa...

Santa Claus has an older brother, Fred. Fred is bitter of Santa's saintly nature and world-wide reknown. One day, Fred urgently needs US$50k, and in desperation, decides to ask Santa to help him out. Santa agrees, but Fred has to come to the North Pole, and work for the money. Fred is not actually a very capable worker. To make matters worse, there is a cold-hearted efficiency expert visiting at the same time, and he's determined to shut down Santa's operation. Expect the usual kiddie-friendly humour.
