A Christmas Prince and the Fairy Tale of Christmas
The moral case for allowing yourself to be swept up in the fairy tale of Christmas.
Christmas can sometimes feel like a fairy tale.
Like there's an adventure out there if only you're willing to go find it. After all, people have so much potential during Christmas. We will sometimes allow other things to happen that wouldn't happen in any other time. Largely because we are so focused on Christmas that sometimes we miss things we otherwise wouldn't. Not to mention we're willing to give people the options you wouldn't during the rest of the year. Christmas is a time when you need other people to handle some things because you're so busy with the holiday that giving other people the time and energy is easier. You also might just accept that the person you see is who they are.
When this happens, you will meet people you otherwise wouldn't and potentially have experiences you otherwise wouldn't. It can almost feel like you've been swept away and let yourself go. Especially if there's some kind of benefit to you. Which is part of what Christmas is about. Something you can do where you give to some other people and your friends and family will give to you as well. At the same time, you can meet a person who you might want to start a family with in the future. Hopefully this person will feel the same way as you. If you're lucky, you'll be swept up together and enjoying the potential of the moment.
Maybe the person you'll find is either a prince or a princess with all the money and power that comes along with finding such a person. This is obviously one of the biggest aspects of fairy tales that people love. The idea of meeting a prince or princess and falling deeply in love until you find a way to have a perfect life where everything is taken care of for you and your life has nothing but joy and beauty. Not just in yourself but in everyone around you. Doing your best to make people who you rule over as a royal family happy. Bringing the idea of Christmas to everyone you know or could know at any point.
A Christmas Prince is very much about how Christmas is like a fairy tale. Amber Eve Moore, as played brilliantly by Rose McIver, is someone who's life doesn't often feel like a fairy tale. She lives a pretty ordinary life working as a journalist. Yet this fact ends up getting her swept up in a real fairy tale story, pretty much entirely because of Christmas. She's assigned to look at what is going on with a prince in a far off land. Not just that, but her own situation gives her chances that she wouldn't otherwise have. People around her simply assume that because it's Christmas and she's here when someone else is supposed to be, that she's the person they're looking for. It goes long enough that she actually meets a prince and they fall in love.
The kind of magical story that can only happen as a fairy tale at Christmas.
