Just looking at him here, after he's hoisted a few pints in England, it's clear from his expression that he has had his fill of greedy children and naughty, naughty, people.
Then he's off to make his deliveries to the few children on the "Nice" list, eventually getting to Connecticut, for one gift on an estate full of naughty, naughty people.
Well, save, one, a little girl named Gertrude, who goes by the nickname Trudy.
She even baked cookies herself for Santa... and even gave him a candy cane.
The 1100 year old man really enjoyed all that!
Trudy is such a sweetheart that when the machine gun-toting naughty people have beat up on Santa and have him surrounded in a shed, she asks him what one wish he would wish at that moment, because he deserved some Christmas magic, too.
Nice, right?
That wish to see his wife again and tell her he loved her led to him finding a sledgehammer in that storage barn...
and, with Trudy's encouragement, he proceeds to make it a "Violent Night" for the naughty, naughty people by reverting back to his Viking past as Nicomund The Red.
Not that he relied on the sledgehammer alone.
Oh, no.
The things that man could do with a candy cane and a pair of ice skates - wooo weee!!!
Sheer artistry!
Many thanks to Comcast for the $1 Movie Night Reward!
Many thanks to David Harbour for truly bringing home the meaning of Christmas by his tender interactions with the little girl who still believed in magic!
I can totally relate to that.
I'm going to enjoy that message for the next two nights.
