"And those children are getting dragged to hell by Krampus on the one night that you said you could do something. But you don't. Why?Because Krampus has his role and I've got mine! I think it's weird that the Tooth Fairy takes teeth, but that's not my job either.So your job is to judge people, but not to judge people for judging people.You're making it sound like I approve of Krampus's methods. I don't. Just because you share a holiday with someone doesn't mean you agree with them on everything. I love kids."
"In reality, the number one lesson of the Harry Potter series was, ironically: We're all humans deserving of equal rights, even the "weirdest" amongst us, even those most discarded by their families and/or by society, even those who've been caught up in histories we ourselves don't yet understand. We're all people deserving of love and respect and dignity. [...]What to do about this situation, I myself had not been sure. I was an adult and not especially "into" the series (as some adults are). I'd still comfort-binge the movies if they were marathoning on a hotel TV perhaps and I felt the right sort of depressed. But now I'd walk into my office and see her books there on my shelf-"
Lightscape at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is presented as a large holiday light installation described as a cathedral of light with a cafe serving notable hot chocolate. A satirical interview with Santa frames Santa defending his role and distancing himself from Krampus while expressing love for children. Sandy Ernest Allen describes confronting Harry Potter fandom as a trans person and reflects that the series teaches that all humans deserve equal rights, love, respect, and dignity, while detailing personal ambivalence and a symbolic response involving a bonfire. Hallmark Christmas movie plot twists also feature in the coverage.
