Pregnant?
At the end of the movie was it implied that Susans mother was pregnant to ensure Santa had gave her the wish of a father, new house and a brother?

Did anyone else find it kind of presumptuous of Kris Kringle (who is only one initial away from having a bedsheet over his head) to mess around with the parent's lives like that. He gets them married, forces them to buy that house and gets the mum up the spout!
I'd block up the chimney if I were them
Well they didn't seem to mind n it made a gd story line so i guess its ok 4 now. But i know wat you mean... he just takes things upon himself but i liked it
share*sigh* Well, I don't really like the new version, but Susan asked Santa for those things and Santa, not wanting to deny a child happiness, agreed to give her what she wanted for Christmas.
How is that presumptious? We ask for our gifts from Santa for Christmas, so why shouldn't we expect to get them?
Kris in the 1947 movie pointed out that Susan wanting a house for Christmas seemed awful big for a little girl, but he understood that it was more than a house Susan wanted. It was what we expect to go along with a house; a family.
Stay cool everyone! From here on in, this will be fun! ^_~
I like the way you're going, but just because we ask for things doesn't mean we should get them or necessarily that that thing would be beneficial to our happiness. When I was younger I wanted to have my name changed to Pete the Destroyer. My mum wouldn't let me.
Actually I'm still bitter about that
But what about what the parents wanted. For all we know the mum may just have wanted that guy (can't remember his name) to stop hanging round and leave her alone. Next thing she know's she's married him and Santa has given her a bun in the oven. I'd be a bit pissed off with Santa.
I think my point is that it is neither Santa's nor the little girl's place to decide who her mother or the guy should marry or if her mother should have another baby.
If I asked Santa to change my mum's name to buttmonkey, doesn't mean I should get my wish (although that is now going down on my list).
I don't think it was really presumptious... When Susan asked for a father, Kris said that it would be difficult. But then he notices that her mother and Bryan actually care about each other a lot, and that their relationship needs some help because the mother's been hurt before. So he works this to his advantage and in a way, gives something to both Susan and her mother; Susan got a family, and her mother got Bryan, a man that she loved but had been too guarded to accept into her life before this.
shareThree years later, and santa still hasn't changed my mum's name to Buttmonkey. I'm not sure he's getting my list
shareI never thought she was pregnant at the end, I just always thought she looked down at her belly after Susan's comment and then looked at Bryan thinking that maybe they could have a baby someday, but I don't think she was pregnant at that moment. She was just kind of like "what if I am since I obviously just had my wedding night?" But I don't think she was really pregnant...yet. That would just be too much...too unbelievable.
Paige: Besides, everybody is odd in San Francisco. That's why we fit in so well!

I think it's implied that she's pregnant. Also, about the presumptious stuff, it's not as though Kris Kringle held a gun to her head and MADE her marry Bryan. She could have said no, she'd done it before.

good point. I agree. She wouldn't know the night after her wedding night anyway.
