It’s
Christmas time for all you Gleeks and what a better way to celebrate
than with a song. This year’s holiday episode shows characters in
both Lima and Manhattan, as they all tell tales (kind of like Love
actually).
Back
at McKinley, Artie arrives to school with a face injury from falling
off his wheel chair. Artie is frustrated and wishes life had turned
out differently for him. As he falls asleep on the school nurse’s
bed, he enters an alternate universe where he is not disabled and
Glee club does not exist. The guys all stayed jocks, Rachel never got
her chance to shine, Tina never got over her stuttering and Quin
doesn’t live through her car accident. Artie makes it his mission
to bring everyone together though music and he wakes from the dream,
appreciative of what he does have.
In
New York, Rachel is preparing to leave to visit her dads and Kurt is
surprised by his father Burt. They share a special Christmas as Burt
brings a tree for their apartment and a special ornament (made from
Kurt’s mothers old perfume bottle). Burt takes his son out on city
for some hot chocolate (a tradition of theirs) and breaks some
news…he has prostate cancer. Sadden by the news; Burt takes Kurt to
the ice rink where his last present is waiting, Blaine.
Puck
returns to Lima for the holidays to visit his brother Jake and brings
him to LA. Where Puck takes him on a tour of the movie studios where
Puck has begun doing script writing. The half-brothers bond through
song and motorcycling, deciding this Christmas to bring their mothers
together to make one happy family. As the mothers argue over Jake’s
mother being the home wrecker, they agree that it was the boy’s
father you played them both and abandoned all of them.
Brittnay
walks the halls giving her friends gifts of large proportions and
says deserve to be happy for their last couple of days on earth.
Brittany and Sam’s romance is heating up. Gullible as the other,
they decide to get married before the Mayan apocalypse. Coach Beast
initiates the ceremony and the couple try to make the most of their
time. Only to awaken on December 22 and realise they are still alive.
Sue
is feeling chartable this season and wants some way to use her power
for good. She over hears a conversation between Marley and her mother
about their most of their money going towards therapy for Marley’s
eating disorder. Sue takes the Cherrio’s Christmas tree and sells
it to a tooth pick company. With the money she makes, Sue secretly
surprises the family with a tree, presents and a stocking with $800.
It’s
a cute episode filled with different stories of family and friends
coming together for what seems like another magical Glee holiday,
filled with songs like ‘White
Christmas’
and ‘The
First Noel’.
