    One of the better episodes exploring Hank and Cotton's relationship.

    This episode is great in it shows the tense but honest attempts by Hank and Cotton to try and overcome their past to become closer. Cotton is great character on this show who deserves our pity instead of our anger. The story regarding the immigrant family is a little heart warming. They are over-joyed that they have come to a country (as put by the patriarch's speech) where they matter. It tugs at you and makes you realize that in other countries people do not have th ability to bitch and complain about their government without being tortured/killed for it. Jimmy Carter's appearance (though it is not him but is still very hilarious) is quite apt for this episode. His mediation is funny especially when he is dealing with cotton. I personally see it as one of the stronger episodes of this series that help show that Mike Judge is a great artist with this fine example of a television program.

    • Trivia
      Hank says they will start a new tradition, "Christmas with the Niefkos." 'Niefko' is the guy's first name. What Hank should have said was "Christmas with the Lubeckis." 'Lubecki' is the family's last name.
    • Goofs
      When Bobby introduces Jimmy Carter to Hank and Peggy, the windows of the limousine are down, showing people in the front seats. On the exact frame that Bobby closes the door shut, the car makes a several visual changes, most notably: all the windows are suddenly up, and the people in the front seats are no longer visible. This happens around 16:33.

      Didi Hill: Cotton is so easy to shop for. Either he likes what I get him and he's happy or he hates it and he shoots it and he's happy.
