Oh, that wasn't intended. Zelda didn't mean for her to take anything she said as some indicator that witches protected mortals. Actually, most witches didn't care what kind of problems their actions caused mortals. The Spellmans were a bit unique in that sense.

But Zelda lives here, and she does feel some responsibility for the children, and she's not going to get Tina into a spin thinking otherwise. So she'll just leave it.

"Don't be mistaken, Yule is a positive time for witches, too." That's not untrue. Positive is just a little more complicated for witches. "We share... some traditions. For different reasons, of course."
