'Twas the Fight Before Christmas

About This Movie

'Twas the Fight Before Christmas is a fascinating look at the clash between holiday cheer and community standards. Jeremy Morris really goes all out with his Christmas lights, creating a spectacle that’s both dazzling and a bit overwhelming. The documentary unfolds at a relaxed pace, giving us time to soak in the absurdity of it all, especially as tensions rise with the neighbors. What’s distinctive here is how it juxtaposes the warmth of holiday spirit with the cold realities of legal battles over what constitutes too much festivity. The performances – especially from Morris – feel genuine, encapsulating that mix of enthusiasm and desperation that can come with the holiday season. It's a light yet thought-provoking exploration of how far one might go for their beliefs, even if it ends up in court.
