i just saw this Christmas movie aroun 10 years ago and i want to know what it is called. It has been a very long time so the details are a bit fussy

It was about a divorced father who gets his son over the xmas. His son wakes him when he hears someone on the roof. The father goes out and sees a man dressed as santa, he yells out at him and he falls of the roof and dies. In the shock he steals the dead guys clothes. He starts spiraling into insanity and drags his child in with him when the kid sees the dead santa. He Starts thinking he is santa and starts seeing elves and the north pole where all the elves are kids. He gets morbidly obese and dies his hair white. I can't remember the end but i remember that he kidnapped his son somewhere in the end.

I think the actor from that show where a housefather has a handyman tv show and a neighbor that gets never seen

Hey, have you seen this other movie, this Valentine's Day horror movie? I forget the title. But the plot is, a spoiled rich girl is approached by a mentally disturbed white-trash man, at a carnival. He doesn't know her at all, but she is physically beautiful, and he lusts for power over her. So he dangles himself from the Ferris wheel, and threatens to kill himself in front of everyone, unless she agrees to become his sex slave. She agrees, and develops Stockholm Syndrome. Then he goes to war, and she becomes engaged to a mentally challenged man. Then the sociopath returns, and she cheats on her fiance with him. Her fiance, being mentally challenged, forgives her for this. Then the girl gets old and loses what was left of her mind, and as a near-vegetable, is still being held prisoner as a sex-slave for the sociopath.
