'Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2021) - A Christmas themed documentary seemed the perfect addition to our family time holiday viewing schedule this year. A family who just loves Christmas is moving into a new neighbourhood and is hoping to bring their huge Christmas decoration extravaganza that draws hundreds of visitors to their street along with them to the new house, the Home Owner's Association, however had other ideas.
I kind of thought this was going to be a light-hearted documentary about a goofy guy who really loved Christmas, but this one got dark. Saying he really loved Christmas is something of an understatement, this guy is irrationally obsessed. Of course, he doesn't see it that way, but that can all be sorted out in a court of law. Which is his favourite threat, mainly because he's a lawyer and has the ability to make what are typically idle threats a reality without the financial burden that the general public would face to do so. To be fair there were mistakes made on the HOA's side of things as well, but it quickly got exponentially out of hand from there. I'm still shaking my head over it, to be honest. It is a wild and uncomfortable ride. Last I heard the case was still ongoing.
We watched this on AppleTV+.
