Star Wars: The Force Awakens *SPOILERS*

I have been on a somewhat curbed internet hiatus since Thursday last week (yes, we got it a day earlier than most, but the tickets have been sold out around here for weeks and weeks), and thankfully avoided spoilers, and really, for this film, I am so glad I did. Of course I grew up watching the original trilogy (who didn't?), however I only know bits and pieces from the prequels, so my understanding in that regard may be a little sketchy.

"Merry Christmas, Punks!"

Just... go along. Okay, a magical statue turns into an old homeless lady to help Mac and the Challengers Club with their Christmas pageant, which doesn't make enough money anyway so she leaves a wad of cash for them to save the club, helping those who help themselves, etc. Mac humbugs because he didn't make it home in time for Christmas when his mom died, and is comforted by his old hockey pal come priest who was a friend of his mom's and whose church the statue is missing from. Small world, huh? Cynthia sings the one song that will make Mac cry in the stairwell, Pete is bribed into playing Santa, and Breeze wears a tie - a true Christmas miracle! Also the old lady turns into a statue again, because Christmas.
