I didn't have high hopes for the Christmas Eve episode this year. Days of Our Lives has made Christmas an afterthought too many times, and the promo suggested a small affair full of people who had nothing to do with the Hortons.
But the Christmas Eve celebration on Days of Our Lives during the week of 12-18-23 was much more in the holiday spirit than I'd expected. The flashbacks of Alice and Tom and Julie's thoughts about how they'd have felt about the size of their once-small family made this one of the best Horton Christmas stories.
There were some hiccups (somehow Julie called Roman to order pies for extra guests that she didn't know were coming) and some notable absences -- where were the Deverauxes or Maggie's other children and grandchildren? But the emphasis on family and love was what viewers needed this holiday season.
Christmas can be...
