The Spirit of Christmas in "Eyes Wide Shut"
'Tis the season for nutcracking.

Paganism

Secret societies, excellent teeth, "Only the best people."

Tolerance

Vampirism

The statues upstairs.

"I'm a doctor."

Christmas is a fairy tale, like
The Wizard of Oz or the
Hippocratic Oath.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.

"I'm a doctor."

X-mas in Hell?

...with Santa's Little Helper?

More statues, a whole world of statues.

"I'm a doctor."

Time for "Little Tommy's" presents.

Hmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

"I want my mommy!"
