Paganism is the Reason for the Season
Plot summary of an actual, honest-to-goodness Christmas movie broadcast on an actual, honest-to-goodness cable station last night:
Santa must save Rudolph and Frosty from a wizard.
A quick check of the Internet Movie Database reveals this gem of a plot summary for the same film:
Long ago the Lady Boreal placed the evil Winterbolt under a magic spell, and put the last of her magic into the nose of a newborn reindeer: Rudolph. But now Winterbolt's awake. He gives Frosty's family magic amulets to keep them from melting until the Fourth of July so that Frosty and Rudolph can help Lilly's circus and Milton can marry his girlfriend on the highwire, and Santa will use his sleigh to make sure everybody gets back to the North Pole in time...which leaves Winterbolt alone at the North Pole on the Fourth...
Nothing says Christmas like evil wizards, circuses, and the voice of Mickey Rooney as Santa Claus.
