Anywho, this is one I always like. I mean, it doesn't have the delightful Garbage Day sequence made famous in part two, but it does have a few delightful scenes of various adults turning children off to Christmas forever.
"I was thinking about my parents."
"Good, good! A boy should think about his parents."
"They're dead."
I dig this one probably more than I should because admittedly part of it is straight cheese. But man, it also is just serious enough not to be ridiculous.
This song, played early on, always stands out. It just doesn't fit, but I think that's part of the charm of the movie.
