If you are looking for a truly great Christmas movie this year, I highly suggest checking out Tokyo Godfathers. It's a story about three homeless people Hana, Gin, and Miyuki that find a baby and set out to return her to her parents.

Hana


She's a transwoman and former drag queen, she's got a loving heart and tries to take care of others but also has a flair for the dramatic at times.

Gin


The oldest of our three heroes, he's a bit of an alcoholic and has issues being honest about himself with the others. However, he tries to make up for it by being protective of the group.

Miyuki


Miyuki is a teenage runaway whos been on the streets for a few months. Being a teen, she's fairly naive and even though she acts independent she heavily leans on Hana and Gin to survive.

Kiyoko


Is a baby.


These extremely short character write-ups purposely don't tell you much because the movie is largely about these people's lives and how their stories influence their need to help return Kiyoko to her parents. So it's better to watch the movie and find out who they are yourself. It's a fairly oddball movie but also extremely sentimental. It'll make you laugh, cry, etc. It's written and directed by Satoshi Kon, an extremely kick rear end creative who was taken from the world too soon by pancreatic cancer. He's credited as a writer and directed Millennium Actress, Paprika, Paranoia Agent, and directed Perfect Blue.

Here's a trailer though you should skip it and just go straight to the movie:
