Touching and sweet but in a realistic way.

It's very hard writing a some what kitschy show like "Ugly Betty" and still make it come out very sweet and touching without making it seem forced, And yet this show pulled it off. I must say this show is getting better and better as time goes by. hurrah to the writing staff!

Great episode! Hoilday episodes are always the best! Betty is pretty. Some people think she is ugly but she is not! Just because she may be a little bigger than average doesn't mean she can't pretty. I think Amanda may like Daniel again because she kept watching him. When she got the ring stuck on her finger she could put under hot water and it would come off. Marc is so scared of his boss and thinks that she is going do to something really bad so he doesn't say anything about their sercret and unstead he finds out that she got him a hummer.moreless
