Dear readers, it’s the season of joy and goodwill and new Netflix Christmas movies, in which people in wildly over-decorated houses navigate the holidays to find love, family harmony and, quite possibly, one whopper of an electric bill. It’s a Seattle Times tradition to round up and review these movies every year, and though this year Netflix inexplicably only had a couple on offer, I watched a few other new ones on other streaming services and rated them all on a scale of one to five Christmas lights.
