This aspect is well brought out in The Santa Clause, wherein Charlie's sacrifice of wanting Christmas with his father shows that the story is emotionally rich. When Charlie accepts the fact that his dad, Scott, is Santa Claus, and has to fulfill all his magical duties, he takes it rather hard. His silent understanding and the letting go of his wishes for the greater good make this a very emotional film. This moment of selflessness defines the spirit of Christmas—that is, putting other people's happiness before your own, especially when it involves family.
