There’s A LOT of Christmas media that’s just “there’s someone who doesn’t want to be involved in Christmas and we must force them to be involved, because once they are, they will be saved and love Christmas, like the rest of us”

Yep they inadvertently put their whole missionary /crusade / colonist mentality into the “art”.
It’d be funny to have a movie that’s the opposite, where someone is super pro-Christmas at the beginning and then winds up changing religions or something. Similarly, there should be a movie where someone discovers through the magic of Christmas that rural life sucks and moves to the city.

I know the writer wasn’t the best person ___

The holiday isn’t Santa’s to postpone. He is an avatar and caretaker of the Christmas spirit, not a master with control over it. Often in the ebin deep lore of these stories, Christmas itself has both power on the specific date which is needed to fuel Santa, and it has a need for the rituals to be completed least it be damaged like the holiday itself is some kind of withering god. Like an Aztec sacrifice to ensure the sun rises, it isn’t just the sort of thing you can delay.

And the special where Christmas happens anyway even without all the commercial excess has been turned into wal-mart commercials.
How would everyone know?
He can leave presents for everyone, but he can’t leave a note?
You can’t postpone Jesus. /s
