A Very Glee Christmas

Taking a slight deviation from my usual plan, tonight I decided to review the newest episode of Glee.

I found that this episode was fairly enjoyable, the songs were well performed and I rather enjoyed getting to hear Sue sing the song "You're A Mean One, Mister Grinch" as she reenacts the scene of stealing the tree and ornaments.

During this episode Artie, who is confined to a wheelchair, discovers that his girlfriend Brittany still believes in Santa Claus. After the initial shock he finds that it's best to just humor her and let his girlfriend get to enjoy the magic of still believing for one more year. Rachel does her very best to try and win back Finn after he chooses to break up with her, though is not very successful and only winds up pushing him away a bit further.

Sue Sylvester rigs the Secret Santa among the staff of the school so that she gets all of the presents which prompts Will, Emma and Coach Beiste to work together at setting things right. The New Directions glee club also struggles with being the misfits of the school as more slushies to the face resume, and are even chased from the classroom they go caroling to.

It defiantly helps to have at least a bit of back history on the characters and how their relationships are with each other, so this episode (and review) are probably going to be rather confusing when viewed on it's own. However, if you don't mind having to puzzle things out, this episode is a rather nice holiday show. A highlight is how Sue, her assistant Becky and Brittany act out bits of The Grinch, portraying The Grinch, Max and Cindy Lou Who respectively.
