Jokes aside the Santa Claus family is actually terrifying, not in the holiday horror movie way but in the normal way absuive families are. He knows it's weird but is so scared of them that he won't confront them. I heard the update and remembered the advice to never let a partner isolate you from your family and friends bc that's a sign of abusive intentions. Scary.
