      When Santa crosses the street to get to the two alone children, the white sedan right next to the children is in a different position when seen looking toward Santa (it further back) than when looking from Santa (it further forward). In addition, the car starts to pull forward at one point, but has not moved position in the next shot.

    Who could get angry with Santy?

    A man, claiming to be Santa, moves to a new town and instantly antagonizes his neighbors. Even though he is popular with the kids and does many good deeds, the complaints cause trouble for him with the police and a local politician, a woman who harbors a deep hostility for the old gent. "Santa's" true identity is eventually revealed and the lady must make a few important decisions. Good film for the holidays.
