The Christmas Martian, a French-Canadian movie that’s sure to become a beloved holiday tradition right up there with that VHS of Christmas With The Kranks you discovered your older brother recorded over with an episode of Red Shoe Diaries. Poo Flower, (that is his name, we’re all gonna have to deal with it) is the titular martian.
