Season 3, Episode 8: A Very Supernatural Christmas

"I can't just sit around, drinking eggnog, pretending everything's okay, when I know next Christmas you'll be dead."

What I said then:

"Sweet. A Very #Supernatural Christmas.  #Season 3."
"Evil Santa!!!!! #Supernatural #Season3"
"Dean and Sam singing Silent Night - that was pretty rough. #Supernatural #Season 3"
"'You know what I say when I feel like swearing?  Fudge.'  'I'll remember that.' #Supernatural #Season3"
"'If you fudging touch me again, I'll fudging kill you!' #Supernatural #Season3"
"Um... also that peeling the fingernail off of Sam was kind of disgusting.  #Supernatural #Season3"

Comments on the second time around:

• I can imagine few things more traumatizing as a kid than seeing Santa get sucked up the chimney. (Until we get to when the poor little curly haired boy hears and then sees his father get dragged away in a bag - so creepy and horrifying).
• Was it just me or did the little boy at the beginning seem a bit too old to believe in Santa Clause?
• Dean was so cute wanting to have a real Christmas, with a tree and Boston Market, and Sam bah humbugging him.  "Alright, Grinch."
• I love young Sam and young Dean.  They really play the parts perfectly.
• "Santa's got a special gift for you" - talk about creepy and pedophiliac.
• "We only came here to watch" - yikes, talk about double creepy and pedophiliac.
• "Mr. Gung-ho Christmas might have to blow away Santa."  I'm glad Dean didn't have to.
• Dean and Sam's Silent Night rendition - perfect.  I'd never know that Jensen Ackles could actually sing based on this scene.

• Meadowsweet is the name of a store near me that I've heard advertised lately - now it's kind of creepy and every time I see a commercial for it I'm going to imagine that it's used for human sacrifices.
• I love the young Dean prefaced telling young Sam that monsters were real by telling him that "we have the coolest dad in the world.  He's a superhero."
• The Carrigans are some of my favorite monsters on the whole show.
• Sam TOWERS over the Carrigan's fridge - hilarious.
• Vervain reference!
• The body parts in the Carrigan's basement - ugh.
• Haven't been able to rewatch that fingernail scene since the first time I saw it and I didn't know it was coming.
• Young Dean trying to convince young Sam that John had come to give them Christmas - so many Winchester feels and tears.
• When Sam gives Dean his present for John and it's the samulet . . . "thank you, Sam, I love it" and puts it on and never takes it off - seriously, all the tears for the end of this episode.
• "Skin mags! And shaving cream!"  "Fuel for me and fuel for my Baby."
• "Son of a bitch" count - 1
