Welcome to those of you joining me from The Disney Kids and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.
Well I had to struggle with this topic. I have a confession that we have very few family tradition movies. The ones that are on our must-do list are Elf, A Christmas Story, and Die Hard (the original).
It really is sad that since I was a kid we have watched Die Hard on every Christmas Eve I can remember.
One of my favorites scenes is when Scott Calvin and his son are debating over the The Rose Suchak Ladder Company. I can just imagine my son and I having the same discussion.
But the best thing about this move is the fine print on The Santa Claus business card.
The rest of the movie is filled with watching Scott Calvin coming to grips with being Santa Claus and learning the meaning of Christmas. How can you not smile when the kids line up in the park to tell him what they want for Christmas.
I loved that idea of the card so much that I thought it would be fun this year to have my own and possibly try to build some klout with my son.
Yes, I even included the fine print. And I made them printable (CLICK HERE to download printable)so you too can have the Big Man’s business card. Complete with fine print and directions on the back. There is also a blank one so you can create a special title for you or someone else.
I am thinking it could be fun to leave one on Santa’s cookie plate for the kids to find. Can’t wait to see their reaction.

I love the cards! We have a few nontraditional movies we watch too. I like nontraditional traditions. 😉
I love the cards, the movie (except the elves in it always seemed to me to be a missed opportunity), the Die Hard! Lol! And Mary, it’s been wonderful to have been on Teal with you–I’ve learned so much from you, and so appreciate all your help!
I always argue with my husband that Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie.
He would HUG you right now if he saw this post! 🙂 Over the years I’ve
learned that a tradition is a tradition no matter what. It’s what brings
family together.

Love the cards Mary!! We watch the movie every year as well, and Santa Clause 2 & 3. But the original is my favorite!!
What a great idea! I always told the kids I had Santa’s phone number…maybe I’ll print out a business card to prove it 🙂
So cute, Mary! I didn’t really appreciate this movie until I had kids. Now it’s one of our traditional movies.
What a great post, Mary! Your creative genius knows no bounds!
Mickey_MDOD Lol! Thanks for vote of confidence.
RoeMo326 My Dad was the one that established it. So your husband can also tell you that the older generation of men agree with him.
DaveShute Thanks Dave! And the same too you. We all grew together. I know we will cross paths so don’t think you have gotten rid of me quite yet.
This is one of my favorites! We watch it every year and it never gets old! Cute business cards!
I love the printables! Pinned these and have printed them to leave “evidence” of his visit. Thank you!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! And these printables are perfect!! I can’t wait to use them this year! 🙂 Thanks!!
