Trivia
This is the first and only episode that shows Lorelai and Rory celebrating Christmas.

Goofs
Fully green, deciduous trees and green grass are clearly seen in several scenes. Only problem is- this episode takes place in late December. (Also, in one outdoor scene the cast & extras are wearing cold weather apparel but their breath isn't seen.)

Quotes
Rory: Sounds like you're over thinking this. Maybe if you just put pen to paper.
Lorelai: I tried that, I thought, "I'll just sit down and write whatever comes - no judgment, no inner critic." Boy was that a bad idea.
Rory: Really? Why?
Lorelai: Because my brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. "I'm writing a letter, I can't write a letter, why can't I write a letter? I'm wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaner's. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, 'Casablanca' is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don't I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!"
Rory: Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants?

Fairly cute Christmas show

Although season 7 is quite weak overall, I actually enjoyed this episode even though there were some sad moments to it. It seems in many ways to be the turning point for Lorelai in realising she still loves Luke
