Thanks for the reads, reviews and votes! This was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. I really was tempted to have Santa summoned by Rudolph Junior's bright nose when the mugger attacked and go full-on fantasy but I resisted the urge, plus I was trying to keep the budget down.

I'm so sorry the logline was so rubbish and made some think Junior nuked everyone at the end! I really panicked when I read that so I'll be changing the logline.

Just to answer a few questions from the reviews:

"Dad" was the first jumper the Quality Controller picks up.

The 'Based on, if any' in the title page is the default setting of Final Draft which I failed to remove.

"Pulling crackers" seemed to confuse one or two of you. Do you guys in the US not have Christmas Crackers which you traditionally pull during Christmas dinner?

I did have a scene where Josh sneaks out of his bedroom at night to retrieve the sweater from the trash but cut it.  I see one reader was confused by the switch from nighttime and mom throwing the sweater, to them being mugged and Josh having the sweater on. I was hoping the audience would put two and two together with Rudolph Jnr's voice over.

The original idea was bigger. I had the sweater being passed to various people who ultimately discarded it when they discovered the overpowering light bulb, with it ultimately finding a home with a tramp who kept it for the rest of his days. I simply didn't have the pages so kept it as simple as possible. However, there are a lot of possibilities here if anyone is interested in optioning it.

Thanks again.
