revelation #1

so i was watching home alone and a thought occurred...which was interesting, because i have seen this movie a billion and one times, and i just thought of this.
in the scene in the end, when kevin wakes up to go see if his family came back, he walks into the living room asking for his mom.
he looks in the living room and nothing has changed from the night before.
the night before he decorated the living room with the tree, and the stockings, and before he went to bed, he put cookies, and milk out for santa, and carrot sticks, which i'm guessing are for the reindeer,
nothing had changed, everything was still where it was when kevin put it there the night before.
so, my revelation...what if a little kid is watching this movie, believes in santa claus and notices that nothing had changed. what if they ask the questions, why aren't there presents under the tree? or why is the milk still there? didn't santa come to his house?
now, i know most children are not as observant as me, when i watch movies, i almost turn into an editor to find all the problems...it is a little secret of mine, i think it is fun, but anyway...
seriously...i hope children's hopes and dreams aren't shattered to soon about santa because of that one little scene.
how about this...after watching home alone, what miracle on 34th street
