A Christmas Story Is Not Just a Christmas Story

Christmas is certainly this contemporary construction is certainly all about nostalgia and for instance a Christmas story one certainly one of my favorites. In the same kind of way something is going on on a yearly basis we get a chance to sort of relive earlier ideally simple simpler times right there's sort of this it's our personal mythologies I think come out at these times where we reflect on the past reflects on an easier easier time in life so it tends to be a lot of nostalgia involved with it but I think it can also be a critical nostalgia.
