the original idea behind that was sam doesnt celebrate christmas, but the others do so she gets home after this and comes into a warm home and like, her family is watching tv together or making something celebratory in the kitchen whatever. and its not like yknow, they dont "celebrate" but they do spend time together.
i guess that's sort of a lesson? though its very derivative.
im not fond on the idea of holidays whats its, but its not like i dont enjoy the atmosphere of the season. i like to think that people could celebrate the holidays without making the point to celebrate the holidays on a script. not needing everything to be "perfect" yknow?
and i guess if im trying to put "messages" in these little stories thats as good as anything.
