I found most of this episode disappointing and downright cringy.
Only real good moments for me were: the 'improvements' on the house; Madge's badass gun-producing crying cover story; the prettiness of the trees with the baubles; and Amy with a water pistol.
Everything else felt predictable/boring/contrived/dull/uninspiring/rushed/all of the above.
=(
(But so I don't sound like a complete Scrooge, I spent the rest of Christmas evening jumping up and down in my seat and squeeing and annoying the heck out of my relatives while we watched the Downton Abbey special. So it's not me (not really - just me and my rocky relationship with DW for this episode...)
