Plot Holes in the 'Santa Clause' Movies

Today's blog post, as the title suggests, is about the 'Santa Clause' movies. Starring Tim Allen, the same guy who glued his head to a table and blew up a house in the TV show 'Home Improvement'. (Luckily, his character in the 'Santa Clause' films is a tad less disaster-prone.) The first movie was released by Disney in 1994, and was later followed by 'The Santa Clause 2' in 2002, and 'The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause' in 2006.

'The Santa Clause' follows the story of a recently divorced father, who finds himself becoming Santa when the previous Santa Claus dies, and the father puts on the suit he finds an finishes delivering the toys. Turns out there's a Clause—a Santa Clause, to be more specific—which means that by putting on the suit, he agrees to the job of being Santa. The second and third movies chronicle his life after he's been Santa for a while.
The film series is popular for a reason. But if you look closely at the story, you'll find a few plot holes. 

Returning From Hiatus

So, I kind of took an unannounced hiatus. I have no excuse for this, other than... I just didn't feel like it. Over time, I had been losing motivation. I lagged on my story writing, not looking at the files at all, or opening the document and accomplishing little or nothing. My weekly blog posts often got put off until the last minute. I would intend to write them earlier in the week, but often that didn't happen. I would pound them out late Tuesday night, sometimes so late it was technically Wednesday.
