Mary Christmas
We see silly movies where people have to take over for Santa Claus, but have we seen Mary Christmas yet? (Probably.) Yes, Mary Christmas is Santa Claus's rebellious daughter, and when she stays out too late partying with her punk rock band, Santa stays up all night worrying, and he's too tired to deliver the gifts. (The usual type of device for such movies.) So this time Mary gets browbeaten into doing it by her mother, Mrs. Claus, who suggests that if Santa weren't always thinking of other people's children, maybe Mary would have felt more loved, and so surely she should want to help all other children feel loved. But being a rebellious teenager, she can't help replacing everyone's actual gifts with stuff like green hair dye, black fingernail polish, punk rock t-shirts, joke shop vomit, SM toys, cigarettes, etc.
