Holiday spirit in this family looks like seven little presents for a toddler and one grown adult throwing a moral tantrum in the guest room. Parents buy about two hundred dollars worth of toys and clothes for an eighteen-month-old who finally gets the idea of ripping open wrapping paper. Gifts are tucked away, charity already covered with several angel tree donations, and everything is perfectly normal until the older sister decides Christmas needs a purity test and she is the examiner.
What starts as a smug monologue about skipping gifts for her own family to focus on donations quietly slides into a sales pitch that everyone else should do the same. When that does not land, big sister takes a bathroom break and upgrades from judgmental to destructive. Guest room turns into a crime scene. Toys smashed, packaging shredded, clothes ripped, all in the name of doing more for others. Nothing says generosity like vandalizing a toddler’s presents before lecturing their mother about priorities over the phone.
