    A great episode, with a really interessting storyline and a good and funny cast. And like all episodes it has it's great wave in the storyline and a good cliff hanger at the end.

    It was pretty weird seeing this whole new plot that had not been recycled/reused. the writers actually thought the plot out well, instead of reenacting what happened to Joshua. I'm glad Danny made it for at least one more episode, so we can all find out his creepy side. Does anybody know that it was incest what Danny & his sister were doing ore was it innocent. I wasn't sure. Anyways the hysterical part of the episode was Phoebe being good and helping out for Christmas. Lisa Kudrow did really great in those very few scenes. I love Street Phoebe. I Laughed so hard when she insulted the old lady. Don't miss this Christmas episode folks.moreless

    Happy hoildays on Friends! This was an average episode. I would never be that close with brother like Danny and his sister are, that would just be yuk! Well Phoebe seems to being getting more screen time with the whole donating thing and people throwing whatever they would like. If i did that I would keep the money well because I love money and who doesn't?! Less of Monica and Chandler in this episode. I love that part when Phoebe calls that old woman a b***h! I love Phoebe! She is awesome and is the best charater on Friends and when she makes sure no one throws any crap into the bucket.moreless

(Rings the bell at him) Since it's Christmas time, I'm gonna be one of those people collecting donations. Yeah, I already have my bell and later on I get my bucket. I'm going to be out there spreading joy to the people. I mean last year I spread a little joy, but not really enough. So this year I'm going to do the whole city. Monica: You know, I knew a girl in high school who did that, she was very popular. Phoebe: Yeah, that's weird, you're starting to sound a lot like Chandler lately. Monica & Chandler: That is so not true. Edit
