Pepper’s family has never celebrated Christmas due to something that happened to her grandmother when she was a teen. But this year her cousin Laura is coming to stay and her parents decided to have a tree for the first time. Her grandmother fears something bad will happen, but her mother says it’s only one night.
Pepper doesn’t like Laura. Grandmother and mom argue about the trauma of the holiday. Mom tells dad about her childhood full of paranoia and self defense lessons. Dad’s finds the neighbor annoying, and Peppers friends are not that keen on Laura. It’s basically a lot of drama with an occasional killer in a rubber mask whose mouth doesn’t move when he talks.
A few questions: If they don’t celebrate Christmas, why do they have a tree in the basement? Where and how does Jack purchase the preprinted cards he leaves on peoples doorsteps? And why does he bother? When did Laura have time to start reading grandma’s book since it was with grandma and then Pepper? And why would she bring the book to a party? Why do none of the actresses seem to be in the correct age range based on the info provided in the dialogue?
