But in my later and wiser years, I realized there’s a lot more to his film than the average seven-year old can appreciate. Tim Burton brings to the otherwise staid genre of holiday films a freshly twisted execution, even though Santa saves Christmas in the end. That’s not to say that I don’t jump a little when Jack’s eyes glow...
