government of the united
states can issue its currency
bearing a declaration of
trust in god without demanding
physical evidence of the existence
or the nonexistence of a greater being,
then the state of new york,
by a similar demonstration of
the collective faith of its people,
can accept and acknowledge
that Santa Claus does exist,
and he exists In the person
of Kriss kringle!
Case dismissed.
Case dismissed!
Santa Claus wins!
All charges have been dropped.
Kriss kringle is free.
Hey!
- How about that.
- Yes!
You're right, Kriss.
- It's all about the children.
- Yes.
Congratulations, counselor.
Thank you.
Merry christmas, Mr. Kringle.
Merry christmas to you, Mr. Collins.
Thank you.
Uh, my children...
wanted me to remind you to stop by
the house tonight.
I won't forget. I promise.
We live in stanford--31 Shellhammer
bromton road, the big white house.
Yes. I know it well.
Yeah. Well...
anyway, merry christmas.
Oh, uh, Mr. Collins,
I hope you've taken down that
old television antenna.
I ripped my pants on it last year.
Well, Kriss, you're free.
You made a believer out of everybody.
Oh, no. Not everybody.
There are still a few I have to convince.
One in particular.
Excuse me.
Way to go, Bryan.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Walker.
You did a great job, sweetie.
You kicked that guy's bottom.
Well, she saved the day.
Congratulations, Bryan.
Thank you, Dorey.
Have a merry christmas.
You, too.
Well, I'll let you go.
Merry christmas and good luck.
Merry christmas, Mrs. Walker.
And a merry christmas to you, young lady.
And thank you very much.
Merry christmas, Mr. Kringle.
Merry christmas, Bryan.
Again, thank you so much.
I shall never forget you.
And in all my troubles past
and all my troubles yet to come,
I'll never find a better friend.
Thank you, Kriss.
Merry christmas.
Merry christmas to you, Bryan.
Hey, you want to share a cab home?
Home?
Not tonight.
I'm going to be somewhat busy.
That's right.
Mr. Kringle! Mr. Kringle! Mr. Kringle!
This is going to blow up in my face, isn't it?
I lost bigger than i ever thought I'd win.
There was a lot of pressure.
Who knew what the judge was going to do
when he was faced
With putting Santa in the nut house?
He isn't Santa Claus.
What the hell is the matter with everybody?
There is no Santa Claus!
Is somebody getting married?
Not that I know of.
Did you arrange this?
No. You did.
Oh, i did?
You didn't?
I didn't. Did you?
- I didn't.
- I know you did.
- Oh, no.
- Yes, you did.
You did, didn't you?
I did not.
Father?
Are you ready?
For what?
To get married.
I have something to tell you.
What'd you get for christmas?
Susan, that's not why we're going to the house.
We're going to the catalog house, right?
That's the house i told him I wanted.
I showed him a picture of it.
He said he would get it for me.
A house is a big gift.
That's what Mr. Kringle said.
We are going to the house
because it's snowing,
and it's very pretty,
And because Mr. Shellhammer
wants to take photographs
for next year's Christmas catalog,
which, I think, is awfully bold of him.
It is a holiday.
That's just an excuse.
Mr. Kringle did all this.
I'm very sorry, mother.
You have it perfectly wrong.
You got a bonus.
What do you mean?
Our name's on the mailbox.
I got a call last night from Mr. Kringle,
who said you And your husband
were looking for a house.
He was quite insistent.
Did you get married?
Yeah. Last night.
I can't believe it.
Congratulations.
Was this planned?
Uh...no.
I can't believe it.
Mr. Kringle wanted to be here, but, uh,
he's overseas.
Mr. Kringle?
Oh, the house is for sale,
but I'm sure you can afford it now.
We all get our bonuses thanks to you
and, uh, Mr. Kringle.
Wow.
I knew it.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, I don't know what to say,
except merry christmas.
Merry christmas.
Oh.
Chin-chin.
This is the house I asked Kriss for.
He got it for me,
and he got
