Télapu (The Santa Claus, 1994)

Szereplők:

Tim Allen - Scott Calvin/Télapu

Wendy Crewson - Laura Miller

Judge Reinhold - Dr. Neal Miller, a pszichiáter

Eric Lloyd - Charlie Calvin

David Krumholtz - Bernard, vezér-kobold

Larry Brandenburg - Nunzio nyomzó

Mary Gross - Miss Daniels

Paige Tamada - Judy, Télapu apró szolgáló-koboldja

Peter Boyle - Mr. Whittle, Scott Calvin főnöke

Judith Scott - Susan Perry

Jayne Eastwood - Judy, a pincérnő

Ki is valójában a Télapó? A Télapó (ismertebb fedőnevei: Santa Clause, Pére Noel, Weinachtsman, Gyedmaroz stb...) eredeti neve Scott Calvin. Az Északi Sark tavaly karácsonykor szervezte be, amikor Calvin - saját bevallása szerint - ráijesztett egy testes, ősz szakállú, pirosba öltözött férfira a háza tetején. A férfi eltűnt, de ott maradt a ruhája, melyet Calvin magára öltött. Képzeljünk csak el egy kimért üzletembert, akinek hatalmas pocakja és szép fehér szakálla nő, utálja a szarvasokat, mégis kénytelen szánra szállni és szétosztani az ajándékokat!

Driving Home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tail-lights
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tail-lights
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

(Chris Rea)

Mistletoe & Wine (Fagyöngy & Bor)

The child is a king, the carollers sing,
The old has passed, theres a new beginning.
Dreams of santa, dreams of snow,
Fingers numb, faces aglow.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving,
Love and laughter and joy ever after,
Ours for the taking, just follow the master.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

A time for giving, a time for getting,
A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love, christmas is peace,
A time for hating and fighting to cease.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time for rejoicing in all that we see

(Cliff Richard)

Fehér fagyöngy

Fehér fagyöngy (Viscum Album)

Csók a fagyöngy alatt - régóta a karácsonyi hagyományok része.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (Rudolf a Piros Orrú Rénszarvas)

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

A Mikulás szarvasai

Üstökös - Comet

Íjas - Cupid
A hatodik rénszarvas, balról a harmadik sorban. Szeretetet és örömet hoz a gyermekeknek, amikor a Mikulás elrepül a házak fölött.

Csillag - Vixen
Táncos - Dancer

Pompás - Prancer
A harmadik rénszarvas, a második sorban jobboldalt. Ő a legerősebb rénszarvas.

Villám - Blitzen

Táltos - Dasher
Az első rénszarvas, jobboldali vezető, mielőtt Rudolf csatlakozott volna. Ő a leggyorsabb.

Ágas - Donder
Rudolf (a piros orrú) - Red Rudolph / 1935 óta


Az eredeti 8 rénszarvas (hiszen Rudolf csak 1935-ben csatlakozott a többiekhez) a következő sorrendben húzta a Mikulás szánját, feltételezve, hogy a rénszarvasok karácsonyi szimbólummá válásához hozzájárul versben megnevezett sorrend elölről hátra halad, úgy, hogy a baloldali szarvas hím, a jobboldali pedig nőstény:

Elölről:
Táltos Táncos
Pompás Csillag
Üstökös Íjas
Ágas Villám
