Page "The Santa Clause" Paragraph 2

Scott Calvin ( Tim Allen ) is a 38-year-old divorced father and advertising executive for a toy company in the fictional city of Lakeside, Illinois with a young son, Charlie ( Eric Lloyd ).

On Christmas Eve, Charlie comes over to spend the night with Scott before going back to his mother ( Wendy Crewson ) and stepfather's ( Judge Reinhold ) for Christmas Day.

Scott attempts to assure Charlie of Santa Claus ' existence, while in full disbelief himself.

That night, they are awakened by a clatter on the roof.

Going outside to investigate, they can see someone on there.

Scott yells at the trespasser, " Hey, you!

", which causes him to lose his balance and fall off.

He appears to be Santa Claus.
