Re: Rudolph. Who knew Santa is a bully? That realization killed the show for me.

Rudolph is like Frosty-once a year and enjoy the song! "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" is much better, sweeter and unfortunately, only available on Peacock this year!

Speaking of Jimmy Stewart, this article by the great Monica Hesse puts an appropriate focus on the “main” character in It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s very thought provoking for those of us of a certain age. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/its-a-wonderful-life-mary-bailey-george-bailey-donna-reed-jimmy-stewart/2021/12/23/6df0d85e-63ff-11ec-a7e8-3a8455b71fad_story.html

I must disagree. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is one of my favorite must see holiday shows. I have watched about 4 times this year. The simple message is in the end they see the error of their ways and they changed their way of thinking. Merry Christmas.

My recommendation: Rare Exports. An off kilter, slightly sci-fi Finnish Christmas movie. Santa and his crazed helpers are weirdly funny. Very well done and worth seeking out.
