We liked the second video, which is a parody, because it shows the reality. In the original carol people get weird presents, while in the parody the composer talks about the real problems that everyone faces. On Christmas, there is no person who doesn't need to buy sweets or toys for their children or who doesn't need to buy a Christmas tree or to rig up lights. Some of the people are hangover before and after Christmas and there is no parking place anymore. Meeting the in-laws is an idea that most of people are terrified of. On this holiday everyone wastes their money on useless things, which leads them to huge debts.
