Who else was ready to jump off a bridge after the "special holiday episode" of AMC, 23 December? It was dreadful! Gone are the days of warm, fuzzy, special scenes like the magic gift box of the early 00s, or Myrtle's tryst with 'Santa Claus'...sort of lame, but better than fires and fights and falling off the wagon! I loved when the show would air its Christmas episodes (and Thanksgiving, and New Year's Eve) on the actual days, instead of the "encores" they show now. This year? On Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, we got the uplifting tornado shows again! I miss the dopey mini-stories (like Santa + Myrtle), dusting off the Martin house set so everyone could gather Joe & Ruth's, the end credits set to a holiday song. Nope - this year, on the Christmas Eve Eve episode: Amanda manipulated JR into taking a drink after around 400 days of sobriety; Greenlee left Ryan, telling him they can't be together; Annie and Aidan are locked up in Oak Havenl; Kendall is in a coma and Rebecca knows this will be her last Christmas; Tad is lost in the Congo; Krystal's grief over Babe's death overcame her and she tore through her living room, destroying decorations and presents and knocking over the tree. She then stumbled off, fell and hit her head, lying unconscious as the tree caught fire on a felled candle. Thanks, Chuck! Merry Christmas!
