Chapter 2: Transfer
Lakeside, Illinois December 20 1990
At?? … Ok where am I know?
… SH** BOOM my head explodes with memories that were not my own… or are they?
What's happening? These memories are saying I'm Scott Calvin, divorced husband with a son, market director for a toy company, working and living in Illinois.
While this is shocking information, what is more shocking is that I know this person.
He is the main character for The Santa Clause movie series, one of my favorite Christmas movie series to watch during the holiday season.
When I was a young boy I enjoyed watching the first Santa Clause with my parents. The idea that an ordinary man, while arrogant and childish, could still share joy and cheer with all those around him was amusing and heartwarming to see. Throughout the film he transformed into a Santa Claus all children know and love, both literally and figuratively
And now I am him. While I am grateful to that entity for sparing me having to grow up all over again it's hard to say whether I would have made the same life choices as he would.
During the film we only learn about his life once he transforms and becomes Santa, other than his estranged wife and his son, any other information is that he works for a toy company. But here I am seeing his life before the film which is now driving me to a realization.
The entity was right, this isn't just a fictional world come to life, but a real universe with real people with real past, presents, and futures.
Currently, from what I can recall I have four days till Christmas eve, meaning four days till the events of the Santa Clause.
Now here is the kicker… should I follow through with what I know or should I try something else?
The entity did say something about my Christmas spirit and I think that toward the end he called me Santa Claus.
Hold on… looking back at my memory now there is something new I might need to consider… originally I remember that at the upcoming Christmas party in the film it was about a doll.
So why is it about a Captain America action figure… to commemorate the 45 year anniversary of his passing !?! WAIT, is this a marvel universe! ?!?
