movies about Santa are actually movies about capitalism. it's just propaganda.
but a movie about the reason for the season, the lessons learned, the love shared, the friends made - those are Christmas movies. it's the vehicle to move the story because why even December?

Christmas movies aren't only the ones that Santa shows up in. they also aren't only Lifetime movies where the girl comes home for vacation.
Christmas movies take place during a time where someone applies a lesson that we typically only experience during the holidays.

Everyone using generative AI, but no one has given me a version of This Christmas with Chris Brown replaced. If you’re gonna pollute Black neighborhoods at least improve our cultural experience. 😭

I came up with this idea two weeks ago and I had four customers this Christmas. Gratitude is the only word that comes to mind. Thank you to everyone who reposted, told somebody about me, or sent well wishes. It’s up in 2026 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Cheating is cheating whether you’re emotionally cheating by sharing personal feelings with someone who isn’t your partner, physically cheating by having actual consensual relations or mentally cheating by having lustful thoughts about anyone that isn’t your person (celebrities too).

There’s no standard definition of marriage. Marriage is a partnership that those involved get to determine and abide by and too many folks have opinions on other folks’ relationships without knowing their terms and agreements.

p.s. the fact that so many of the actors in this aren't in EVERYTHING (esp Ashton, Jharrel, and Trevante) says so much about the external limitations placed on extremely skilled Black performers. Their performances still haunt me.
