“Humoring her husband for the time being…” Mrs. Since her husband will never see reason that way, she puts a plan into action to trick him instead. She yearns for more than simply sitting around the North Pole, especially when she knows there are going to be sad children on Christmas morning. She spent her younger years as a schoolteacher. To cancel Christmas entirely just because he’s got a mild case of “man flu” doesn’t make a lick of sense, and Mrs. She makes a good point! Looking back at the origin of the character, there’s nothing inherently special about him other than a desire to do good. Claus dresses up in her husband’s clothes and fantasizes in the mirror about taking on the role. She even considers taking up the main role herself! Far from needing a strong and vigorous male lead, she steps up into her own when Santa goes down and knows it would be silly even considering cancelling the whole holiday just on his behalf. She has a definite will and agency of her own in contrast to her husband’s lethargy. Claus differs by feeling far more forceful. As the main character of this piece, Booth’s Mrs. Claus, Booth replaces Robie Lester in her Santa Claus is Comin to Town role as Santa’s wife Jessica. He needs rest and recovery, and decides, regretfully, that he won’t be able to go out this year. Again played by Mickey Rooney, though with a bit more gristle in his voice when he plays the character as an old man, he’s worn out and tired from the one day a year he has to go out and work. The Year Without a Santa Claus begins when Santa gets sick. The Year Without a Santa Claus is the special where men bitch and whine while women get shit done. While those brothers arye arguing, Mother Nature proves that she’s the political leader we all deserve. The Year Without a Santa Claus is a tangentially film about family ties, yes, but refreshingly, it’s mostly a film about underestimating women. Yet while their own breakout from this special is substantial, they actually aren’t a large part of what I’m going to talk about today. This is the special most people remember for the appearance of Heat Miser and Snow Miser.

Would I let you go a day without a Rankin-Bass special? No! That’s why I’m taking a look at The Year Without a Santa Claus ! Surprise! Welcome back! I’m spending some of my precious weekend time talking about a show that’s close to a lot of hearts.
