Have you noticed that just about every movie about Christmas begins telling a familiar story that turns out empty or meaningless, only to reveal the “true” meaning of Christmas? This trope is used most every time, whether it be the Grinch, or Charlie Brown, or It's a Wonderful Life. With so many movies and books and pastors all saying that we aren't “getting it”, and even a Bible Story that repeats the same message of “we don't get it” … why is it then, that we keep missing the point?
