kind of hot take is this is not a Christmas movie actually.

This is not a Christmas story.

This is a story about dudes figuring out how to be dudes and bros and failing most of the time.

And to be honest, that is also actually true.

But can't dudes figure that out at Christmas?

Can't they figure it out at the Halloween?

They didn't hear.

They didn't at this one. one, you know.

A movie that obviously will be a little bit more relevant to you.

I was like, that's a great idea.

It's a canonical Christmas movie of the culture.

It's one, I realized when I was watching it, I know I've watched this through.
