Fun fact for most of you who did or did not know the elf costumes in this movie are actually inspired by the elf costumes in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
When I played Santa Claus in a mall I go about it that I am just an elf. The real Santa is still in the North Pole. All the Santa Clauses in the mall are just elves, except of course displayed in the movie A miracle on 34th Street.
