Santa vs. Satan
¿Que?
While most commercial adaptations of the Santa Claus legend add a distinctive twist to the traditional story this film is unique in its depiction of an extraterrestrial Santa doing battle with a demon sent to Earth by Lucifer to ruin Christmas—by killing Santa and "making all the children of the Earth do evil."Mexican Lobby Card

This might be my favorite picture yet. I am totally serious.
The drawings down the side are my favorite part.
I'm on Satan's side! I hate the X-mas. This year, it's me, the cats, and a case of Boone's Farm Strawberry.
Come to Florida and hate Xmas with mama.
This makes me want to watch Nightmare Before Christmas.
It's quite tempting.
I looked carefully at the drawings on the side and yeah, they're pretty great. There's a wizard and a blacksmith and the devil giving a girl a doll.... I really want to see this movie.
And SB SHOULD come down for Christmas! But I know she'd miss her family too much. So maybe New Years.
May,
You guys are my family, too. I just am too goddamn broke to go anywhere until the divorce settlement. Not sure when that will happen. I need to pay some damn charge debt (from the move) down before I go anywhere.
Love, SB.
May: I think the blacksmith might be Santa.
