The December Critic’s Choice free movie event at the T.B. Scott Free Library in Merrill will keep movie goers and library patrons in the Christmas spirit even if it is a little past Christmas Day. The free movie will be at the library on Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2023, at 1 p.m. Bring the family and enjoy free refreshments!
This year’s festive movie tells the story of Scott Calvin, portrayed by Tim Allen, who inadvertently becomes the jolly old Santa Claus himself. What ensues are hilarious attempts to keep this information from his family and employer. Not helping in the least are the facts that his hair turns white, he can’t keep his beard trimmed, and he gains a great amount of weight in a very short time. Helping him along the way are a supportive cast of elves, eight reindeer, and his lovable six-year-old-son, Charlie.
