    I feel bad for Abed and since i don't really cry a lot, crying when Abed found out his mom wasn't coming was sad. Besides that it was a good episode overall, i'm gonna watch it again next christmas! =]

  • The Meaning of Christmas

    I didn't see this episode the first time it aired, and that's something I truly regret, because I've missed an entire year of watching it over and over. Now, this wasn't the funniest episode of Community, but it is in the top ten, but it is one of the most creative and enjoyable episodes. It had humor, suspense, and heart. It was very well written, well put together, and amazingly animated.
    I feel that even if Community gets cancelled this year, which I really, really hope it doesn't., they should still air it every year, because this is an amazing special.moreless

  • Superb Christmas special!

    I loved the craft and detail that went into each scene as well as the overall story. Pierce was hilarious as always along with Jeff, Annie, Troy, Abed, Shirley, Britta, Chang and the rest of the cast. I had to watch it twice just to make sure I didn't miss all the witty details. I could only give it a 9.5 rating due to the fact it was animated and therefore was unable to see Alison's really cute doe eyes this week. Man! she really is cute. Other than that it was superb! I really appreciated the extra mile they went this season and hope the show continues for many more.moreless

  • Abed searches for the meaning of Christmas whilst everyone is in cartoon form.

    Personally, I didn't like this episode. I liked the idea of it but not so much the execution. It's sort of annoying and very out of context with the rest of the series. It was just... kind of lame. I love Christmas and yes, I love learning life lessons from cartoons but at the same time I love this show and this episode didn't have anything in common with the rest of the series. They shared characters but honestly, nothing like the other episodes.

    At least it had some token songs which really make Christmas Movies what they are. And the way they all beat up the Christmas Wizard was great.moreless

  • Brilliant idea, and a perfect christmass episode

    "Perfect"
    By durothill, Sep 01, 2011
    From start to finish I loved this episode. I was a bit worried about the stop-motion idea being too gimicky, but they really pulled it off, all the charecters felt natural and more importantly they all got screen time in this episode. Pierce was back after being something of a non entity last week and it was definitley a more positive mood overall despite dealing with the darker side to the holidays at times.
    Only community could have exploding dinosuars fit into a show so naturally. This might well be my favourite episode of the season so far.
    Happy community Christmass!moreless
