Every year, I watch the usual Christmas classics from "It's A Wonderful Life", "Miracle on 34th St.", "The Christmas Story", "Home Alone 1 and 2", "Christmas Vacation", et al. Then.....I have to watch the schlocky, cringefests like this and "Santa vs. The Martians".
It is so BAD but it is appealing in a demented way. Everything about it stinks up the place but it kind of has a moral to it. When you're a kid, you know you're not suppose to look directly at the sun but you do it anyway.
The scenes where the children are singing and representing their respective countries is so funny and cute except it's not acceptable by todays standards, well, it never was. It was a different time. In my opinion, you don't cancel the past, you learn and grow from it. You can't understand what other cultures dealt with, and still do, if you're willfully ignorant of it.
I will be watching it again, laughing at it's absurdity and thinking, "not as bad as the sugary sh** they play ad nauseam on Hallmark".
Let your mind channel MST3K, it's more fun that way.
