12 Reasons To Like This Flick (challenge)

I stumbled onto this little christmas gem last year and was glad to see usa is re-running it...but too soon for the holiday rush (as of today) And since there's so little discussion on this site, I'll start some for 2005.
Here's a start to 12 reasons this makes for good holiday fare. Add yours:
1. Tony Danza and Lea Thompson. Both good actors who get limited exposure. The film's a nice little heart tugger with laughs and tears alike.
2. The story is predictable, but well carried. And Betty White's the perfect Santa Shop caretaker.

I agree. I watch it every time it is on.

3. Finally a Christmas movie that kids can enjoy, but isn't necessarily a "kids" Christmas movie. It isn't full of slapstick comedy moments, but entertaining enough for adults and kids alike.
4. Tony Danza's grumbling. Very reminiscent of Robin Williams in Robert Altman's Popeye.

Yeah, I agree with your first reason, I said that in another post.

I'll have to re-watch to see about your second point?
