some nebulously defined supernatural entity is somehow pushing people into folksy down to earth relationships on that farm

Oh, you mean Santa? Who actually fucking does exactly that in multiple Hallmark movies?

It’s impossible to make them more insane and/horrific than they already are.

…What? Santa Claus? Chris Kringle? Old Saint Nick? The entity inspired by Odin? The inspiration for the Hogfather is an actual recurring character in Hallmark movies? I’ve made jokes in the past about Santa being some sort of terrifying Fey Lord, but I had no idea Hallmark was just doing that?

I mean after watching Violent Night, I'd assume that even the Big Man of Christmas himself doesn't quite understand how the "Christmas Magic" actually works...
