Have you seen that Christmas movie with Vince Vaughn?

Not the uncomfortable one about multiple Christmases where he's in an awkward relationship with Reese Witherspoon.

But the one where he plays Santa's brother, Fred?

If not, then you may want to press "Play" on this one.

Yes, the movie is about Christmas, but it's also much deeper than that.

It gets into family dynamics (aka "dysfunction"), getting curious about people and the "WHY" behind their behavior, and showing people grace and compassion. Because sometimes...we don't need a pile of gifts under that tree. Sometimes, all we truly need is knowing that someone cares about us, and what we're going through.
