Why not just use the magic to make the principal fall in love with him?


Sure it may be wrong, but Christmas will be saved!

I don't think it works like that.

I think part of the "Mrs. Clause" said it had to be true love. So using magic would've been against the rules. (And I didn't catch all of the part when Santa asked Cupid to hit someone with one of his darts. There was some reason it wasn't allowable.)

reply

Cupid's arrow couldn't be used on Santa, simply because it doesn't effect fellow magic beings

Because, just like Genie from Aladdin says, "You can't use magic to make someone fall in love with you... or bring someone back from the dead - because that's gross."

Because love relies on free will; you can't control it. By forcing magic and forcing a decision on someone takes all the purity and passion out of it. It's like loving a zombie it would be right and kharma wouldn't like it.

I'm sure Scott would have never used magic if he could have unless he just couldn't get anyone. He knows better than that.

He could have just picked the woman on his blind date. She was the embodiment of Christmas. He could have shown her he was Santa and she would have jumped at the chance.

reply

He wouldn't have been Santa very long because he would have killed himself!
