I just wanted to say I LOVED today's episode. And everyone hating on it is making me a sad panda. :sadpanda :sadpanda :sadpanda :sadpanda :sadpanda :sadpanda :sadpanda

I know everyone wishes there could have been more Nuke, I always wish that. But I love how family-centric it was. LOVED that it was all about the Snyders. And I know they focused a lot on Lily and Holden but I didn't mind because I LOVE THOSE TWO (when Lily gets back to acting like Lily and not a pathetic woman who needs a man in her life to survive :P ). And the best thing of all? NO DAMIAN. I AM SO FREAKING GLAD THAT THERE WAS NO DAMIAN AND WE GOT HOLDEN HOLDEN HOLDEN HOLDEN HOLDEN HOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLDEEENN. And I love that we got that little Luke and Holden moment. Still not completely satisfied with the little moments they keep giving us between Luke and his REAL father, but I'll take what I can get.

But I love the family feel to it. I loved this entire week of ATWT actually. I love that they celebrated Christmas in each episode. The only episodes I didn't care for were Monday and Tuesday. And I liked Wednesday's episode but I could have done without Casey proposing to Alison. I still don't believe their epic love the show is trying to shove down our throats. :( And I sort of automatically fall asleep when I see them on my screen. It sucks since I LOVE Billy and Marnie and I'm really trying to like them together but *sigh* not working. Thursday's episode with Brad and Katie KILLED ME. Seriously. Tears just cascading down my face, I went through like five kleenexes. :bawling :bawling :bawling :bawling :bawling :bawling

And I loved today's episode. I hated that Noah was still so sad and angry and upset but I love the hug, the talk they had, and the gifts Luke gave him. The look on Luke's face when Noah walked in broke my heart into five billion pieces OMG, I barely survived that look. AND THE ORNAMENTS. The ornaments were made of win and Luke in a Santa Claus outfit! So yeah. LOVED the episode, it was more than I thought we'd get and I knew they weren't going to kiss so I wasn't disappointed.

So anyone crapping on it could go bah humbug their butts back to the Grinch. :P

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ZOMBIES!

*goes back to playing Rock Band with the family*

I agree with Moey on all her points listed above! And of course I'd always loves to see the boys have more screen time but at this point in the game I'm not going to complain when I do see them because our days are numbered now. I just want to enjoy.

And I really liked today's episode too! Loved the fact that it was totally focused on the Snyder's and narrated by Dr. Bob!

I knew that we weren't going to get happy boys so I'm pretty okay with that. We got one of our epic hugs out of the boys so that was good enough for me. I think if Noah suddenly came back from rehab all sunshine and smiles it wouldn't have been realistic. Christmas or not he's still having a hard time dealing with the blindness and letting go of his anger. You can tell that he still loves Luke but he just doesn't know how to deal.

Loved Luke's gifts for Noah! It's about time we saw Luke give Noah a gift! I thought it was sweet and thoughtful. I just loved the little tidbit about the socks too! :wub:

And little Ethan is so freaking adorable! How can you not love an episode with him in it?

I'm kinda baffled that people didn't like this episode.

And on a side note...I also bawled during Thursday's episode. Damn...that was so freaking sad! :crying

There were people hating on it? Really? Because I ADORED it!
I loved that there was a narrator going through what was going on with everyone. I loved that.

HOLDEN! HOLDEN!! I'm so glad we got to see him and I'm so happy that Lily realized that the needed to work together for the kids. Fave line: "We need to get over ourselves and give the kids a Christmas." I was like YES. FINALLY.

And Emma pretending to burn the goose? Cutes thing I've ever seen. " I need to get take out..take in..take something." Lovely.

And I loved Lucinda being super stealth grandma and leading Lily out of the house.

Ethan...HOW CUTE IS THAT LIL BOY? OMG.

Luke as Santa? Hilarious and aww-worthy.

And my boo was back! I squealed out loud that my mom was like who is that? It was so bittersweet that Noah was still angry and he pulled away but I saw him thawing and the wa he smiled when Luke was giving him the presents.

And the ornaments? I WUUUVED it.

And I don't even know that Molly person but I liked her chemistry with Holden and it made me laugh when she was like "I don't have anything for you" to Lily.

Did I want more Nuke? Dur...I always want more Nuke. But I FLOVED today's epi.

Ok. Actually took the time to articulate my thoughts other than "AGREE", so here they are:

I'll basically be the echo today and say that I agree with everything that everyone said in this thread. Loved the family focus of today's episode. Loved that Lily and Holden pulled their heads out of their asses and focused on their kids for today. Loved the Lucinda/Emma tag-team. Loved that there was no Damian and Meg. ADORED the Holden/Luke scene. Loved that Noah came home because he missed Christmas with Luke (and the family).....

I just about love everything in this episode. :H Even the angst between the guys. It was true to life and realistic and I'm glad that the writers didn't decide to make this an episode where everything's all hunky dory one episode, and back to normal the next. The only "problem" I had was Molly. Woman you're hot and stuff, but your presence was NOT needed, kthxbye.

Hightlights:
-The kids being all gloomy in the beginning. IDK. Just seeing them all quiet and morose in the living made me all :wub: in a weird way
-Lucinda/Emma tag team even though Emma was hesitant.
-Did I see actual chemistry between Jon and Noelle today? Holy cow, but their scenes were adorbs.
-LUKE/HOLDEN SCENE NEED I SAY MORE.
-All the kids being worried about each other rather than themselves. I mean, come on. How freaking cute.
-Santa!Luke! Ahahahahahahaha! And then Ethan being all "OIC YOU TRYING TO BE SNEAKY LUKE" was A+++++
-Luke seeing Noah walk in the room. I think my heart literally stopped.
-Ask me how much I love the fact that EVERYONE in the Snyder family LOVES NOAH. ASK ME.
-Noah calling out for Luke (despite recoiling back when Luke tried to touch him)...says a lot to me.
-The kitchen talk/hug. I think my heart stopped again here too.
-Everyone hanging the ornaments. Sweeeeeeeeeet.
-Luke's gift to Noah! OMG. Noah sniffing the coffee, Luke giving Noah the socks he wears cause he's always trying to STEAL THEM. Someone write a sock!fic now plz.
-Was that last musical instrumental Mary Poppins' "Feed the Birds"??? HAHAHAHAH. LOVE.
-Adored Bob's narration, despite how stalkerish it seemed. I found myself conversing with him whenever he spoke. :P

Just....yeah.....loved everything about today. Obviously. :D

OMG! Who is hating on today?!!! I FREAKING LOOOOOVED TODAY!!! It was SO MUCH FUN!

And I know I'm in the miniority but I love that Noah isn't okay. I love that he still angry and sad. He gets to be that way. I'm happy that even though he is irrationally mad at Luke, he still LOVES HIM SO MUCH THAT HE NEEEEDS TO BE WITH HIM.

I LOVED ALL THE FAMILY STUFF!

It was all so awesome!

I loved, loved, loved Wednesday, Thursday and today's episodes. You guys already pointed out every frikkin thing that I liked. Didn't Jake look unbelievably gorgeous when you first set eyes on him. OMG I even liked Faith today.(I always liked her until the last storyline and I thought she was just robotic or something.) Now I'll miss her.

Ethan trying to hang the ornaments was the cutest. Bro Santa FTW......it was all epic. :wub

At least I didn't cry today like I did with the Bye Bye Brad episode. :crying

Am I asking too much to hope that most of the episodes remaining are as good as this week? I better write a letter to Santa. Maybe Mrs. Claus watches the show. :)

Thanks Claudia for my avi.

I know I didn't LOVE today's episode as much as a lot of you guys did (it hurt my heart! :sadpanda ), but there were plenty of things that I did like that have been mentioned, like HOLDEN (oh, Holden!), and the Holden-Luke stuff, and how the Snyders welcomed Noah like he was family (as they should!), and how Lily and Holden were great with one another. And no Damian. Thank God. And Luke's woobie faces. Oh, God...the woobie faces. And the gift. I loved that gift from Luke to Noah. So sentimental and personal and sweet. :cloud9

These last two ep. of ATWT are friggin' EPIC! I can't even tell you how much I loved each and every scene today -- even when I had to watch it without sound at my brother's house :P LOADS of caring and REALTISTIC actions :ftw

And if anyone is wondering, I think Luke's ornament was a Mislotoe!

I don't even WANT to know about people not liking the episode because OMG HOW COULD YOU NOT?? It was sad and sweet and goofy and funny and happy and bittersweet and so much love. Everything everyone has said here times a million.

In fact, I loved it so much that if anyone has the ability to burn the thing onto DVD and send me a copy, I would love you forever (and even write you a story!). I didn't think to set the DVR at home, where we have a DVD burner. :sadpanda

Ronnie wrote sock!fic! Well, a fic about the episode that has the socks in it, at least. (Twitterers were trying to get me to write sock smut. Heh.)

Ok, so on my first viewing I wasn't crazy about it. Parts of it hit a little too close to home, but mainly it was because it was broken up. I was watching it while at work and the first forty minutes I got basically uninterrupted so I was so OMGSOINLOVEWITHITANDHEYTHAT'STHETHANKSGIVINGSWEATERHATI'DGIVEAKIDNEYTOOWN the whole time, despite it hitting a little too close to home. But then some schmuck walked in needing almost fifty gallons of propane during the last twenty freakin' minutes, which left me waiting to finish the episode when I got home (over eight hours later and I was too tired to watch the whole thing over again then). So it being broken up like that made it lose the flow and feeling and love it had going on for me. I wasn't crazy about it.

But then I watched it again in it's entirety and I loved, loved, loved it. Still, a little close to home with the whole two Christmases (which is still shockingly new for me), but it was Snyders all the time and it was amazing.
