Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

95/100

Jack Skellington is as perfect as a holiday character can get. Jack Skellington represents that transitive period between Halloween and Christmas, and through the celebration of tradition and holiday discovers who he truly is. As much as Christmas is often associated with joy and happiness, there's also that reflective, melancholic side to the holiday where we are given time to assess and determine exactly what self we want to show out in the world. Conversely, Jack can also represent the effect of "Christmas creep", in which Christmas and its associated aesthetics slowly encroach the months that precede it. Here, we see Jack, this stalwart of Halloween and horror, become enchanted by Christmas' intoxicating spirits, helpless but to succumb to its ever-marching onslaught of gifts and cheer. Jack may lose himself to the holiday, but still puts his own personality into it with twisted gifts and horrific scares under the tree Christmas morning. In this way, Christmas creep is directly opposed and negatively portrayed, and makes a strong case for holidays to be given their own time, their own chance to breathe and thrive on their own. Jack might not be the traditional example of hero, but in a way he represents the potential to do good around Christmas time even if things don't always turn out the way you planned.

candy canes

10/100

I'm sure there are people who enjoy eating these, but beyond the aesthetic value towards Christmas, they really are not good to me. They're sticky, get repetitive after only a few licks, and then you're stuck with this awkward meat hook of a snack for God knows how long.
