Gosh golly Miss Molly, the IMDb rating for this episode is tiny bit harsh, no doubt because the Xers are not breaking furniture or saving the universe in this one. I have already opined in a review of the entire series that, irregardless of the decade in which it was made, this was (and is) a spectacular version of the X-Men saga, with great stories, animation and voices. In this episode, however, the production team behind the series decided to aim for a more Dickens-like approach, a X-Mas story somewhere between ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, by way of Inside Stan Lee. Did they succeed? Harsh IMDb rating aside, I think they did. They wanted to remind viewers about an event that comes "but once a year," and in my view the story -- about what it's like to have X-Mas if you are a green boy mutant living in poverty in the sewers, living on stolen food -- pretty much nails it. A good night to all ... and to all a good night..
