But in the winter, conflating Christmas and Hanukkah is like comparing apples to oranges. But here’s the thing: the history of Hanukkah, which long predates the birthday of Christ, is a story about the Jewish rejection of assimilation into the popular culture of the day. It has become commonplace to replace the greeting “Merry Christmas” with “Happy holidays!” in order not to offend those who aren’t celebrating the former. In comparison, for Hanukkah, all we have to do is light the menorah and say a blessing. Which is part of what makes me resent the Christmas-ification of Hanukkah, a minor Jewish festival that happens to coincide with the major Christian holiday season. Even the holiday where I feel like I should get a break from cooking — Yom Kippur, a fast day known as the Day of Atonement — is buttressed by meals.

Now, the mere mention of the word automatically makes us think of Christmas celebrations. But the use of “Merry” for Christmas is because of the traditional saying that has been continued for centuries. The famous English Carol also finds its place in the Charles Dickens novel ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843, which popularised the term “Merry Christmas”. Many believed that she associated “merry” with boisterousness and intoxication. The reason behind the use of this phrase is that “Happy” is used for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and new year. The late monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, used to wish the citizens a “Happy Christmas” in her annual broadcast.

Despite all this variation, Christmas movies are an international tradition. We have two very different examples for you today. Alli Neumann and Kostja Ullmann ...

It’s emotionally relatable for anyone who’s been at those family Christmases, and even more so for anyone who remembers the things you “always do at Christmas” that you don’t get to do any more. The following day (the 25th) is often a day for family outings, summer weather permitting. Equally relatable is Jorge’s statement at the end, that Christmas is “the perfect time to stop for a while, take a deep breath, and notice that life is more than what happens while we work to pay the bills.” I hope you all get a chance to catch your breath this Christmas, and I’ll see you for more Subtext next year. (Religious sorts would head off to midnight mass after the meal, but clearly Jorge’s family aren’t religious.) Since Brazil is (mostly) in the southern hemisphere it’s summer at Christmas, with warm nights. The next day he wakes up – and it’s Christmas Eve again, the following year. A big family party on the night of the 24th, with a meal at 10pm and presents exchanged after midnight. With these themes and plot, it’s not surprising that director Detlev Buck is a fan of the Coen brothers. During the year he doesn’t remember Christmas Eve, and on Christmas Eve he remembers nothing else. Buck grew up in the country as the child of farmers, and this comes across in the sharp but authentic observations of country life that the film is based on. The central figure of Hermann (played by Sascha Alexander Geršak) is especially compelling as the local “strong man” who sees his power crumbling along with the local economy. Even something like the traditional Christmas dinner varies wildly, with Norway eating roast pork, Eastern European countries having a feast of fish, and some Germans even getting a traditional meal of rabbit. After the two have sex in his camper van, she persuades him the next morning to head back to her home town with her for Christmas.

Chuy is a miser who does not believe in the exuberant celebration of Christmas. He buys cheap gifts for his family and always believes that he is the victim of ...

Now that he had seen how sad his future would be if he continued to be bitter, he knew that he had to put in more effort to make his life and the lives of those he loved better. He was obsessed with the curse, and he decided to pray to God with his family for extra impact. He was overjoyed and wanted to share the news with Daniela, but after meeting her, he learned that she wanted to get a divorce. They lifted his curse, and he woke up to realize that he had been given another chance at life. He begged for her forgiveness for being impatient with her and not valuing her when she was there with him. Now that she was gone, he realized how he should have cherished the moments he got to spend with her. But they reminded him that he was the one responsible for the distance between him and his family. The next day he woke up; it was his birthday and Christmas again. Every day that he woke up in the morning, it was just another Christmas or birthday with his family. She wanted to be a mother and a businesswoman, but Chuy was not encouraging her dream. Just as the Diva Godmother had promised, he was reliving his Christmas day. He buys cheap gifts for his family and always believes that he is the victim of every situation.

When Christmas season comes, loads of movies and songs drop in. However, not every movie lives up to its expectations because some are extremely dumb and ...

I loved how the realization of Chuy was gradually built with the help of the people around him and their changes. But to not make it too emotional, the jokes that were added rightly and balanced the flavour of the movie. The main takeaway from the movie is the message of how family is important and it was delivered wonderfully. The movie proceeds with him denying his birthday cake, getting pissed at his family members and driving up to a bar instead of spending time with his entire family. The movie runs about an hour and a half, and is available in Spanish and English language. Surprisingly, the Mexican movie, A Not So Merry Christmas aka Reviviendo la Navidad, released on December 20, 2022, did give out a good plot and enhanced the true meaning and joy of Christmas.

Santa had to end the interview with the Northside Sun to check on the latest toys coming off the elf assembly line at the North Pole. Even so, boys and girls should be extra nice for one more day, especially to the moms and dads and brothers and sisters.

And he will have a total budget of $4 million to hire the staff he needs to turn this crisis around.

The Most Generic Christmas-Movie Title of 2022 distinction goes to A Not So Merry Christmas (now on Netflix), a high-concept comedy from Mexican director Mark ...

He wakes up the next day and it’s not the next day at all – a year has passed and it’s the next Christmas Eve. Nna shows up here and there to enliven the proceedings, but isn’t given anything funny to say, and as a protagonist, the Chuy character is a bland and empty cypher for generic sentiment. And Hulu just released a (much lower-budget) Groundhog Day ripoff, [Christmas on Repeat](https://decider.com/2022/11/04/christmas-on-repeat-on-hulu-stream-it-or-skip-it/), just last month. Chuy does what he can to not be a cretin but it’s not enough, and the next day, he wakes up and it’s the next year’s Christmas Eve, and thus proceeds ye olde time loop. But as the diva godmother, Nna drums up a little vibrant color while dressing in a variety of goofy costumes. etc. He tracks down his diva godmother, who’s no longer a bartender, but a drag queen, and then the next Christmas Eve he’s a priest, and the one after that, a Buddhist, and the one after that, a Hasidic Jew. He’s a me-first crank who doesn’t appreciate his family or his sports-memorabilia store, which is apparently so lucrative, he can afford a gorgeous, sprawling home with a kitchen you could stage a small theatrical production in, and that can accommodate his parents and all of his siblings and his wacky aunt and uncle for Christmas Eve dinner. But if anyone deserves a whole heaping mess of trouble, it’s Chuy. You’re in for a whole heaping mess of trouble if you do. That night everyone comes over and he calls his family members “mooches” and “parasites” who are always looking for “handouts.” And I think this is because sometimes his birthday and Christmas blur together and he only gets one present. It’s about a Scrinchy Grooge-ish type guy who isn’t sufficiently joyous during the holiday season, and therefore must face an ironic punishment: Re-living the day he hates over and over again until he either goes nuts and bananas, or figures this shit out.
