That End Though
kiathros17 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode may not be as great or memorable as the other ones are, (the Cam and Mitch storyline a bit obnoxious although I always support and want more Lily exposure) but the last part really makes me cry. When Haley finally tells everyone that she's pregnant it's really heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time because got really quiet like everyone was waiting for Claire and Phil's reactions first before reacting (as a respect). Then they take a picture all together and the camera pans to Phil and Claire. Claire asks Phil is its gonna be alright and Phil assures her but their faces have this expression that shows how terrified and shocked they are. I don't have kids and don't actually feel how it feels to know my child is pregnant and not yet settled but this scene is the closest to how I'll probably feel, or how everyone does. What also makes me cry is the thought that they could have gone with it another way. Phil or most likely Claire, could have gone really mad but she didn't and they try to seem happy about it, which for me makes things more painful.

And to anyone who doesn't like that Haley ends up with Dylan, sorry I can't sympathize with you.

Andy's the best bet for her but he would just have been another Phil.

I love this show.

Better than Average Season 10 Episode
Christmas-Reviewer4 July 2019
Review Date 7/4/2019

I have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Television Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films. I am on a mission to watch every Christmas Movie ever made. Since 2014 I average 100 a year.

in this episode Haley wants to give the family a Christmas gift they will never forget if she can just figure out the perfect time. Meanwhile, Claire is mad that Phil has once again borrowed the family Christmas tree for a house-showing; and Jay, Gloria and Joe have to deal with some unwelcome visitors over the holidays.

As always the actors that play Luke and Manny are the weakest link. Good episode but the show is really straining for laughs in many episodes.

Feels not even like the same show
Gernot S.14 December 2018
1) Cheap slapstick all over the episode. 2) Simple concepts - maybe worth laughing once - exploited three or four times...

What happened to the clever writing?

Awful episode

This season is reaching new depths , unfunny and childish attempts at humour and lazy script writing . The end is nigh if this keeps up

Distractingly bad
milkmanj22 February 2019
Terribly cheesy, and normally I like cheese. It's my favorite food. Out of place and unfunny, this episode had no creativity, no wit, and evidently no effort. Was awkward to watch as if the actors even knew it was gonna bore us. Normally a great show though.

Is Claire really The Grinch?
studioAT30 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Haley breaks the news to her family about the pregnancy in a Christmas themed episode that probably suffers up against other festive episodes the show has done in previous years.

It has its moments - with all of the stories working for me except the one involving Jay and Manny, which is a shame as the latter has not featured much this series.

It's not the best episode of the series so far, but it's enjoyable enough viewing.
