I'm not quite sure what the point is.
Does it really need a point? It's our President and his wife in their first Christmas at the White House. This stuff is done every year.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Really? I guess I never noticed it before.
Maybe not on Oprah, but by various people through the years (Diane Sawyer, Barbara Wa-Wa, Katie Couric, etc).
OK, I found something even weirder. Full-Court Miracle, on the Disney Channel. A Jewish school has a basketball team. The main character kid has gotten several talks from the rabbis about how he needs to find the Judah Maccabbee inside himself to lead the team. Now, it's the championship game, and there's a storm, and the power went out, and there's not enough fuel in the emergency generator to have lights to finish the game! But they're going to try anyway.
I suppose I should take it as a good sign that Jews get ridiculous holiday movies just like Christians do?
That story sounds familiar. But. I don't recall the basketball part. I wonder where I know that story...
It's a miracle! Without any fuel, the lights came back on!
Oh, and the coach who had coached them to the championships and then left because he got an NBA contract showed up just when the lights came back on, so he walked into the gym surrounded by a halo of light.
Hey, we got a "shine as a beacon of hope to all the world" voiceover! I don't think I've ever seen that "all the world" stuff in a Jewish-themed show that wasn't specifically made for a Jewish audience before. I'm ... unsure how I feel about it. But it's interesting.
Cash, glad to hear the good news for your sister. Vibing hard for her.
This.

Hil, that sounds every bit as mortifyingly schmoopy as most made-for-cable Christmas movies. That's the America I know and love - non-aerosol cheez-food for all!
