    There’s A LOT of Christmas media that’s just “there’s someone who doesn’t want to be involved in Christmas and we must force them to be involved, because once they are, they will be saved and love Christmas, like the rest of us”

    It’s fucking rough yo

        Yep they inadvertently put their whole missionary /crusade / colonist mentality into the “art”.

        It’d be funny to have a movie that’s the opposite, where someone is super pro-Christmas at the beginning and then winds up changing religions or something. Similarly, there should be a movie where someone discovers through the magic of Christmas that rural life sucks and moves to the city.

      Yeah, I didn’t think much of it when I was a kid, but now it seems kind of offensive to those who don’t celebrate Christmas
