This episode stands out among Roswell's 2nd season which was heavily influenced by sci-fi...and it's absolutely beautiful. These characters deserved a break from their turmoil and this episode delivers in spades. Funny, tragic, beautifully written and acted. This episode celebrates the Christmas spirit more than most Christmas movies. Max's storyline with the father is simply amazing and the B and C plots hold up wonderfully. Hard to not cry throughout the whole episode, and that hospital scene... OMG. Do yourself a favor and blow off the Hallmark movies and watch this around the Christmas. It will restore your faith in the holidays and humanity.
