I would name her Kochava. This name means Star in Hebrew. I chose Hebrew, because it is a Jewish language and Jesus, who's birth is what Christmas celebrates, was Jewish. I picked the name meaning star because of the bright star that guided the shepherds and the wise men to the stable where Jesus was born. Her nickname is Kocha, as her name is quite long winded.


I think that this bean would be female. I think it's the eyes and the way the color contrasts with the fur, that makes them seem very feminine, very light and soft.


While Kochava loves the holiday spirit, decorating the tree, singing carols and all sorts, what she loves the most about Christmas, is sitting down, on a sofa with all of her friends, curling up and watching a good old cheesy Christmas film! She loves them, she thinks they are beautifully emotional and encourage holiday cheer in everyone.
This started when she was a child. Her best friend said that she had bought a DVD of a film called 'It's a Wonderful Life!' and they watched it together on Christmas Eve, and ended up sobbing buckets into each others shoulder. Kochava thought it was such a beautiful film, with such a wonderful story as it followed its course. She felt herself go through many a multitude of emotions while watching it and when it ended, she felt inspired by it. Christmas has always been her favourite time of year, and the films make her feel so Christmassy. The next year, she tried out some other films, and her favourites are Elf, Home Alone, A Nightmare Before Christmas and of course, It's a Wonderful Life.
She likes Elf, because she thinks it is incredibly funny, and she remembers wanting to live like that as a child, eating nothing but sweets, knowing Santa Claus and making her way in the world anyway. She loves all the comedy pulled of by the man who plays Buddy, and can never stop laughing at certain points.
Home Alone, she also found funny, and somehow, ridiculous, because it is so unlikely that that could ever happen. She loves the plot and loves the ending, she finds it funny, but sweet at the same time.
A Nightmare Before Christmas is a bit of a different Christmas film, as it does focus a lot around the monsters of Halloween, trying to enforce their ways of Halloween, onto Christmas. They don't understand anything other than their own way until the end, which is why Kochava likes it. The ending shows that no matter who you are, what you are or what you believe, Christmas can be a time for everybody to enjoy together. She loves the way it can, in a twisted way, inspire Christmas spirit in people.
The interesting thing is that Kochava isn't, particularly, a big film watcher outside of Christmas. It just doesn't really appeal to her much and you'll be lucky if you see her going once in a year to the cinema. She thinks that normal films are just pointless entertainment, they don't really have a reason except to entertain. She feels that, unless a film has a really good message or plot, it's basically useless. The reason Kochava feels differently about Christmas films, is that they can be so emotionally powerful, they can make a depressed person feel happy, even in a glimpse, bring broken families together and, like 'It's a Wonderful Life', it can even save the lives of those people most vulnerable. This is why Kochava truly loves Christmas Films.
