Nightmare Before Christmas

In both movies we watched from Tim Burton, Christmas was part of it. In Edward Scissorhands, Christmas was taking place during the climax of the movie. All that was shown or said about Christmas was about gifts or parties. Not one religious view on it besides from the religious lady who was viewed as kind of a bad person in the beginning. Similarly, in A Nightmare Before Christmas, the Christmas holiday isn't seen as a religious holiday. Instead it's shown as a holiday to get presents and basically worship Santa Claus. Not once is there a mention that it's actually about the birth of Christ. This shows that Tim Burton might not be a very religious person. If he is, he has certainly done a good job showing that he isn't. With Edward Scissorhands, he at least shows something religious. In Nightmare Before Christmas, however, there is absolutely nothing to suggest religion having anything to do with Christmas. This could have something to do with the fact that Tim Burton is not the director of the movie so he didn't have that kind of control. Maybe if he was the director, then he would include some other visuals in the first Christmas scene in order to create a somewhat different view.
