Finn tries to bring a little holiday cheer to McKinley High, and Artie discovers that Brittany still believes in Santa. Meanwhile, the teachers pick their Secret Santas, and one manipulative coach rigs the gift-giving in her favor.

It's the season of goodwill kids... let's try and be a bit more courteous.

I loved Brittany and Coach Beiste in this episode but wasnt too keen on the some of the songs as well I didnt know them

I knew within 5 minutes I wasn't going to like this episode.


Rachel's Song = awful & boring.
Kurt + Other guy were pretty good, but I'm not a huge fan of that song.

It was funny when Will walked out of Sue's office and took the phone off the hook.

Sue the grinch was very well done!
Finn + Rachel's song in the trees was ok... nothing fantastic.
Group Song was well done, but again nothing amazing.

I do have to say that Sue and Will have great chemistry and the scene at the end with them was the highlight of the episode.

It was lame. I like Last Christmas but it wasn't a great version. Kurt & Blaine's duet was the best song of the episode. There was 2 or 3 songs I didn't know. All I want for Christmas is you would have fitted just as well in the Finn & Rachel story line.

Hmmm...this review says its the worst one....ever!

This sums it up for me perfectly:

And not only did we get these ridiculous and pointless plots (which would have been patronizing to a Disney Channel audience) [...]

When i posted the review...i hadn't seen the episode. But now i have, it was just OK...nothing great, but not dreadful either. It was pure cheese, very little humour, Artie getting his "legs" were just cringe, but it wasn't THAT bad.

Loved all the Brittany scene, her still beliving in Santa, the group tryna protect her, the doe eyed looks and cutsey smiles :-)

She's a dote and a pure innocent, i can see why people would want to prtect her, the Sue/Grinch stuff was all a bit meh for me, i did like Kurt and Blaine singing, but overall the songs were very average.

It's like the show was FORCED into doing an Xmas special and they hated the idea, put zero effort into the script and just churned it out for Fox in utter contempt.

2/5

Hrmm, for the most party I enjoyed it.

Artie & his legs was pathethic IMHO! And the little scene with the Beast looking on - ugh, really really didn't like that, it was just too forced and stupid!

Brittany & her belief in Santa was pretty well done I thought. The Rachel & Finn scenes annoyed me; I know she's a real "want a man" character but still, the shopping for trees scene was very forced to watch, I thought. Liked the stage + snow though, pity he didn't stick around!

Sue was fabulous in this one, it has to be said! I bought the album before seeing the episode so knew what tunes already - I hadn't guessed who sang Baby it's cold outside though

& I believe it's back on the 10th January in the states, not sure about here.

You know its actually quite touching...

Oh and if you don't want me to be a "royal pain" by, you know, asking you to expand on what you're posting (discussion forum Richard, the clue is in the name) then its probably best not to post the crap that you do.

Alternatively you have the option to put me on ignore. A much better option than following me to other forums in order to have a dig.

Bit of a meh episode.

Highlight was definitely Blaine and Kurt's duet. Its a pity Blaine isn't in New Directions. He has the best voice out of all the boys.

Hopefully it'll pick up after the break.
