Title: Non-conformists beware!
Review: As one who is attempting to simplify my own holiday celebrations, I was hoping for a tale that thumbed its nose at the rampant commercialism encountered this time of year. There was some of that, but mostly I was rewarded with a very strong conformist message. "Don't be a free thinker...don't make your own choices...just follow the herd and do what everyone else does". If you don't want to participate in Christmas, that's fine, just look out for your neighbors and so-called friends. If I had to live anywhere near that street, I would high-tail it to the country.
