If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the lights, the decorations, and the cheerfulness that seems to fill the air. I will be honest though, it took me quite a few years to get that joy back after some rough years.
I am thankful that I was able to find my way back to enjoy the holidays with my family. All the chaos of the day may stress me out at times, but I love seeing my kids and family smile.
Some of you may remember me talking about our choice not the “do Santa” with our children. It was and is a personal decision that we made for our own family. We do not condone anyone else for their choice. In fact, we’re the only ones in our extended family that chooses not to include this tradition.
That being said, my kids still love all the “santa” movies. In fact, The Santa Clause trilogy is among their absolute must-watch favorites every year! And whether or not you “do” santa, you and your kids can still enjoy this movie study together!

I don’t know about your kids, but something happens to mine after Thanksgiving. It’s like the flood gates were opened and their brains have left the premises. They quite literally “check out” and it seems that school work can often take three-times as long to complete!
That’s one reason this movie study is perfect! During the Christmas season, they are going to watch movies, so why not give them a little learning in the process! So here’s what I’ve included in this pack.
Discussion Questions
I always include discussion questions, because they are a great way to help kids work on their comprehension skills. Children should watch the movie first for fun and try to answer the questions. If they have trouble, have them re-watch the movie, but this time really paying attention and listening for the answers!
The discussion questions are also perfect for kids of all ages. You can ask them in a group format or give each child a copy of the questions and have them write out their answers on their own paper . Giving them their own paper sneaks in a little handwriting and spelling practice too!
History of Santa
NOTE: If your kids still believe in Santa, PLEASE read through this page before you give it to them. I believe this could be a fun history of the name itself and you could easily avoid the “conversation,” but I will leave that up to you.
That being said, this is a fun page that gives a brief history of not only the man, but his names from around the world. The following page accompanies the history of Santa page, so use them together (and cautiously).

Write a Letter
This section is perfect for kids who still believe and those who don’t! Students are encouraged to draw their own picture of the Santa from the movie and then write him a letter! This is a great place for kids to practice their handwriting and spelling skills, as well as work on letter form.

My kids are already begging to watch these movies, which means we will probably plan a weekend marathon! That calls for some simple, yet delicious treats to serve! I mean, why not go all out, right?!
