Continuity mistake: During the jail break scene after the elves have used tinsel to slice off the jail door hinges, the lead elf is holding the tinsel with both hands, but when he says that tinsel is not just for decoration, he is holding it with one hand, then back to two hands when the scene cuts.

Starring: Tim Allen, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, Eric Lloyd
Scott Calvin: Can we take a direct flight back to reality, or do we have to change planes in Denver?
Trivia: Not a mistake, but another elf sighting within the movie. In the Parent's Day scene in Charlie's classroom, watch the boy sitting directly behind Charlie in the blue shirt. When Charlie walks back to his desk to retrieve his glass ball to show everyone, you can see the boy's pointed ears. Another note of interest is when Charlie says "my Dad is Santa Claus" and it cuts to a wide shot showing all of the kids, this kid is the only one not laughing.

Chosen answer: Even though Charlie did not want to stay with his Dad for Christmas Eve, he did want to stay at home with a family member, fragmented as it was. Eating Christmas Eve dinner at a Denny's restaurant was not his idea of a Christmas dinner at home with family.
