  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

I’m not Netflix or a struggling screenwriter. I just read an offhand prophecy of how the year pans out and thought it would make a good chat.

Pitch this years Christmas movie to me based on the the crazy year we have had and how it’s going to impact the lead up to Christmas. For simplicity state the genre and maybe around 300 words. Go as crazy as you fancy, the world is a bit bizarre at the moment and Christmas does not have to always be sickly sweet.

American family finds the only place they can afford a home is East Palestine, OH.

Through a series of hilarious mistakes and misunderstandings, they spend their life savings buying, and are forced to move into a stereotypical American suburban home in the middle of Palestine, Occupied Territory of, Middle East.

The family go through the motions of daily American life, while their home, family car, etc are destroyed by Israeli bombings and raids.

The family gets to know the Israeli soldiers who come to destroy their home every day on a first name basis.

This is in contrast to the constant sequence of Palestinian neighbors who are killed, in farcical manner, and new ones move in.

Somehow, this culminates in a Nativity scene with the family, 3 kings (insert famous global authoritarian leaders) appear.

In the post credits scene, they move to New York... Ukraine.

Nativity scene with the family, 3 kings (insert famous global authoritarian leaders) appear. This feels unnervingly dystopian and real at the same time. Bezos, Zuckerberg and Thiel brandishing gifts. The Christmas ghouls.
