Another brilliant Hollywood Christmas<\/a> movie idea: have Santa<\/a> and Mrs. Claus break up. <\/p>\n

That’s the premise of a new Christmas<\/a> movie in the works to be titled “Fight Before Christmas”, as announced today by Variety<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The story centers on Mrs. Claus leaving Santa<\/a> after 700 years of marriage and feeling<\/a> unappreciated for her continued Christmas<\/a> contributions. She departs just two weeks before the holiday \u2014 putting the fate of the holiday in jeopardy \u2014 so Santa<\/a> flies from the North Pole<\/a> to New York to win her heart back and save Christmas<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is it with Hollywood missing the peace<\/a>, love<\/a> and hope of Christmas<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Why do we have to endure this endless parade of holiday trash? Love<\/a> the Coopers, The Night Before, The Santa<\/a> Claus III, Fred Claus, How the Grinch Stole Christmas<\/a>, Bad Santa<\/a><\/em> — the insanity of bad movies with depressing counter-message themes just keeps coming. These movies don’t make money so why do they keep producing them?<\/p>\n

Christmas<\/a> fans are sick of these movies and starving for a modern tale of Christmas<\/a> redemption, happiness and hope. Love<\/a> can be a theme in Christmas<\/a> movies. It’s a Wonderful Life, after all, features a love<\/a> story. Heck, the story of Joseph and Mary is a love<\/a> story? Why does modern Hollywood then have to split up the Clauses?<\/p>\n

Why does Santa<\/a> — a benevolent character who was in truth unmarried — perpetually get portrayed as someone who cannot manage his relationships?<\/p>\n

We’re all for conflict and drama in Christmas<\/a> movies. We even like a little comedy here and there. But Santa<\/a> and Mrs. Claus divorcing is not funny. Or interesting. Or Christmasy. <\/p>\n

It’s just a bad, bad idea. <\/p>\n
