christmas is well, it s about the best time of the whole year. no matter when they take place, modern era or period, christmas movies and television specials are always about someone who has lost their faith in humankind regaining it, saved by other people being kind because it s christmas. christmas is the landscape that everybody wants to paint on. everyone who tells stories is attracted to the heightened emotions that it brings. nostalgia plays such a huge part in christmas because it is part of so many people s childhoods. and being able to go back and relive those feelings every year by watching holiday movies is just joy. a christmas story is one of the best movies about nostalgia, family, and christmas. jingle bells, jingle bells. jingle all the way. a christmas story. i watch it every year at least twice. it s like the script of my life. can we go now? can we go now? yes. yes, we can go now. come on. it brings out every childhoo
