Lovers of Frosty and Buddy the Elf beware: prepare to have your childhood ruined! A fresh take on some of your old favorite Christmas films can have you second guessing the morals and messages of these classics. Despite the intended cheery and overall positive message, an alternative perspective of these films shows they might not be all they're cracked up to be.
"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" – You’re worthless to society if you’re different than everyone else until someone in a position of power determines you are of some kind of use.
Harsh.
"Frosty the Snowman" – I’ll admit, I Googled "'Frosty the Snowman' hidden meaning," only to discover that, apparently, Frosty is Jesus. So there’s that.

"A Christmas Story" – The sole meaning of Christmas is to dream and dream and dream about some thing that you want really bad, and to wake up on Christmas morning and have all your dreams come true
"Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas" – All it takes for someone with years of experience living as an extreme pessimist to change is to see the rejection of commercialization as a means to achieve happiness.
"A Christmas Carol" – In order to change your perspective on life, you must be visited by several ghosts. It’s the only way.
"Elf" – If your child is adopted, you should probably let them in on the secret before they’re 30 and screaming in a toy shop to avoid certain issues. Also, Christmas is the best time of the year (pshh we already knew that).
