As a Christian and Catholic, I found this movie to be offensive. It portrays a Christian family that is VERY extreme in it's celebration of Christmas. The mother of the Christian boy borders on a lunatic in the way she talks about Christmas and the way she interacts with the Jewish mother and father. The movie seems to monger sympathy for the Jewish mother and father in this unreal Christian community where everyone is completely obsessed with Christmas. For me, it's a less than subtle way of Christian bashing in this movie, which reveals the Jewish family as rational, stable and hip and contrasting the Christian family as irrational, unstable and square.
