Sometimes I like to fantasize that a conversation like this has taken place -

Kripke: Hey, Sera ... Remember when I told you that you were going to be the show-runner and you said you had plans for the show to be like how it was in season one? Yeah, when you uh, said that I thought you meant the first season of my fucking show and not some jacked-up crack version of Highway to fucking Heaven!
Sera: Erm, well ...
Kripke: If we get a seventh season, fix this shit.
Sera: Yessir.

- If Sam was a chubby 12 year old, when did he get chubby? When he was 12? A month before?

- How old was Sam in '91? Dean would've been 11ish, no? And wouldn't that put Sam around 9? Didn't John give Sam a gun when he was 9? Was this after Christmas?

- ETA: Okay, I thought they were 2 years apart. Not four. Why, I thought this, I do not know. Still, I thought Sam looked like he should've already had that gun for the monsters in his closet.

- Poor young Sammy.

- I love that Sam gave the amulet to Dean. And I love that I said, "the amulet" before Dean opened it. It's rare that I call these things. I need Colbert to teach me his ways.

- "We're here to watch." Ahahahahha.

- Evil!Santa reminded of "The Breather" from Student Bodies, and if you haven't seen that movie you really really should.

- "Why do they always run away from me? It's the galoshes. They're a dead giveaway. Why do I wear them? It isn't even raining!"

- "Hasn't there been enough senseless killing? Let's have a murder that makes sense!"

- ... I should stop copying and pasting quotes from the movie.

- Rose Abbot being all evil! I bet Harold drove her to it. *nods*

- The ending. Oh, God. Oh, boys! *hugs them* *cries*

- So I really really enjoyed this episode. Like a lot.

- But. Uhm.

Kripke: What I really rub my hands together in glee about is that we are far and away the most violent Christmas special in the history of television.

Violent compared to what? A Charlie Brown Christmas? Sure parts were a bit gory but I wouldn't call it "violent". Unless you were one that called It's a Wonderful Life violent.
