How Lily Stole Christmas Reviews

Another How I met your mother classic, Never seen Lily this mad before, and first realized how super religious Ted's relatives were.

I mostly love the part where Barney was sick, he acts like a total kid, Robyn would make a great mom.

Marshall would also make a great Santa, He's by far the only person in this episode, who feels the Christmas spirit.

I kinda love how they censored that word... to Grinch, I also thanked that those kids didn't say the real word.

It turns that Ted and Lily had weed, where Lily, reveals her favorite thing, an Easy-bake-oven, So cute, but for a woman, no.

This episode is probally one of the all time best ever. Barney being sick gives bim a sense of emotion since we now know for sure that he is human. Ted and Lily a fan might notice never have conflic so this story made thier relationship much staronger now that they have more interaction. The moments were hey say things like:

Ted: Oh, fudge.
Old Ted: Only I didn't say fudge.

kept the audidiance laughing constaly when they now hear the word fudge (at least I do). Thsi episode also delived one of my favourite scenes ever:

Marshall: (over the phone) Oh, wait! Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, one more thing: how 'bout the cookies? Are they delicious?
(pause, as Ted recalls:)
Robin: (screaming, as smoke bellows out of the oven and she unloads a fire extinguisher at the inferno) Ahhhhhh! Holy Mother of God!
(back to the present)
Ted: You know, honestly, they taste a little store-bought.

That made me laugh so hard...it was legendary!

ted calls lily a "grinch" but not really a grinch, and lily gets really mad. he's like fudge, but he doesnt really say fudge. lily takes teds word advice and steals all the christmas decorations and sets them up in her house. the guy upstairs turned out all ofg lily lights. that was funny. when marshall gives lily a present that she loves he gives the credit to ted, and lily kinda feels bad. by then, he is at his very strict families house, which is all funny in itself. lily apoligizes and its all good. elsewhere, barney gets sick, making more entertainment. also, i was happy to see the mayor of sunnydale in this great show. how cool.

Christmas specials are always good and this one is one of the best Christmas episodes for TV shows. In this episode, Marshall isn't at home because he is writing a paper for law and Lily finds her and Marshall's old answering machine. When she finds a message from Ted calling her a Grinch, she gets mad at Ted and forgets about doing the whole Winter Wonderland thing for Marshall. But, when Ted goes and apologizes to Lily, Marshall comes back home to a surprise and when Lily gets a present from Marshall and heard Ted told him to get it, she learns to forgive him. And, Robin has to stay back home and stay with Barney when he becomes sick. Overall, this goes in as one of the greatest Christmas episodes ever.

This I'll admit isn't the best episode but it's a decent Christmas episode and it's fun as ususal. Ted is facing that same classic dilema like Ralphie on "A Christmas Story" you know the one where he said the F... word. We Lily declares war on Ted for saying Grinch, but in reality it was the dreded B or C word. Not to mention after the discover to make things worse he said the F... word. It's funny seeing how much grief she is giving Ted, and Ted tries to make peace but fails miserably. There is a deeper emotional center as we hear the reason why Ted said it. Lily didn't just hurt and abandon Marchall but she also abandoned Ted and their friendship. But of course we see it all have a good conclusion when we see the idea of Marchall's present came from Ted years ago in collage when Lily, Ted, and Marchall were all stoned, I thought was hilarious.

However other than that plotline, Barney in brief points in the story was able to steel the show once again by revealing a weakness. It appears the common cold disables his powers, we see him accidently sneeze on a current girl he is trying to hit on but of course when he gets real weak he is reduced to a winning kid, it was funny seeing him say "This soup is too hot" and of course Robin is forced to play the mom figure to him, and we see her roll her eyes. Funny.

I love that instead of the use of some non-curse word like fudge or some lame censoring they substituted grinch in for a, I assume, nasty word and had Ted sort of voice over a little explination. Wonderful touch.

I particularly enjoyed Marshall in this episode, with his amazing joy about how great his apartment would look all Chrsitmas-ed up and decorted. When he delivered the packages that was so sweet, too. And comical!

But my favorite part was when we got to see Ted with his family for the holidays, and those two little kids, and the whole gang showed up at the door. Of course they had to pose as Christmas carolers but still! And hey, who knew they could sing that good? Nice little holiday surprise.

This was an alright episode for me. Lily just overreacted, she should know that Ted was just trying to help Marshall at the time. Lily should have also known that her leaving affected Ted as well. We got to see a sick Barney for once, and Robin nursing him in bed was great. There wasn't enough Barney in this episode, and to me he makes this show good, although I love the rest of the cast too. It was nice seeing Ted really still looks out and cares for Lily as a friend, remembering what she wanted nine years ago. At the end, they make up and all is well!

I love this show!
Ted's revelation to Lily that her departure didn't just leave Marshall shattered, it affected him as well....she'd left Ted, too. As cheesy as Marshall and the UPS guy delivering all the packages ("one last package to deliver" to Lily, indeed:)
I thought it was great...what's Christmas without a little cheese? Ted remembering what would blow Lily's mind-hole,
everyone showing up at Ted's cousins house and Lily with the beer mug of apology....I loved it!

While this may have not been the best episode of the season, I for one, enjoyed it.

Lily listens to an old answering machine message from when she left and hears Ted calling her a bad name in order to try and cheer Marshall up.

She takes offence at this and her and Ted have an argument where Ted basically refuses to apologise. This causes Lily to take her Winter Wonderland from Ted and Marshall's apartment and Ted has to try and make things up to her before Marshall gets home as he is who the Wonderland was for.

Meanwhile Barney won't admit he is sick but eventually gives in and Robin agrees to nurse him, though she soon regrets it when he starts acting like a spoilt, needy child.

I really enjoyed the scenes where Barney was ill, even when he is sick he is funny. The scene where he says "legend" then falls asleep but wakes up a minute later saying "ary" was very funny.

We also see that Lily leaving did not only affect Marshall, it affected Ted too and that he was really hurt by her too as according to him, she didn't just leave Marshall, she left him too.

Of course, they all make up at the end when Marshall buys Lily and easy bake oven after Ted remembering something Lily had told him about 9 years earlier.

All in all, not the best episode, but still funny none the less.
