What’s your Christmas season strategy? All of us have one. Maybe you’re trying to wring every bit of cheer out of the holiday like it’s a tube of toothpaste, or maybe you have a schedule so bare it would make the Grinch jealous.

But what if there’s a better way? This week, Alli shows us how strategies we find in the most unlikely of places (like, say, 2004's “Christmas with the Kranks”) points us back to a timeless truth of how to get the most out of this holiday.
