Parents Are Chastised For Their Holiday Gift-Buying
Scroogedis as crass as they come and rated PG-13, but the TV version of the movie is rated PG and on during the daytime, so it's surely a favorite among parents because of its more grown-up comedy. Of all the countless different takes on Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, the modern-day Scrooged is possibly the most entertainingand also plays fast and loose with the source material.

The Grinch Questions Santa's Existence
It doesn't matter if viewers watch the Jim Carrey-starring live-action film or the original, either way, kids will be left wanting answers to some complicated questions. In the animated movie, not only does the titular furry green character carry out the same plan, but he literally implies that Santa doesn't exist. The Grinch argues that Santa doesn't exist because nobody has actually ever seen him, and that goes without a response. All the way up to the end of the film, that remark goes with...
