I watch Lord Of The Rings at Christmas.

  • it has elves

  • the fellowship set out from Rivendell on the 25th of December

  • Gandalf has a santa-like beard

I rest my case

Don't forget they all came out in December! That's the only thing that matters.

Aww never knew they were LGBT 🥰

All of them were originally released around the holidays back in the early 00s as well, so there's baked in Christmas association with those movies.

In a parallel universe multiplex somewhere, Christopher Lee smashed it as Krampus.

I'm pretty sure that Krampus is actually based on his activities during the second world war.
