The belief Christmas was moved from spring to winter solstice is a wide believed myth there is no evidence this happened its just been repeated over and over. It could be true but there is no evidence. Irrelevant but Just saying. If there is evidence show me if you want who cares.

@@cougarkids4978 ok so in season 6 there was a joke a ship (Troy's ship) was captured by pirates. What if that was Pierce's plan all along. In order to get on an island he was banned on he staged a fake pirate attack and now the media buzz because Lavar Burton is captured distracted the island government and now Pierce sneaks on the island. Pierce ELABORATELY faked his death just like in the darkest timeline to teach the group a lesson a lesson he forgot. Pierce's reason for getting on the island to find a long lost love. Whuch was the reason he went to Greendale in the first place but he forgot somewhere through he met her there or something. Anyway Shirley who spun off season six and her partner in solving crime are somehow on the case if the kidnapped Burton. After it turns out it was a fake ruse. Anyway Shirley figures out what was going on meets up with troy and Lavar. And now Pierce is on trial for piracy(Pirate) then a trial of some kind ensues. But for plot reasons the trial happens at Greendale community college. Reason the government wants nothing to do with Pierce and he ysed Greendale supplies for the fake pirate take over of Troy and Lavar and some people who work at Greendale were hired to pirate the ship that took over Troy's. So now Jeff is the Lawer and the Community crew return and the trial and it ends pierce's lover comes back Troy has purpose So does Shirley and she is back with Andra and Britta is something And Annie and Jeff? Dan will think of there endings. And all the Greendale characters are there Dean Magnitude fat neil and the rest. And abed films the trial.

One of my favourite moments in this Christmas special is towards the end when they’re sneaking the Christmas tree out of the cafeteria in the background. You see Shirley grabbing the menorah from the designated holiday zone for Annie!! It’s such a subtle moment but you can see how she’s changed from last year’s Christmas episode!!! Especially considering the episode where Abed is Jesus takes place earlier in the second season as well. We love character growth!!!!!!! ❤️

She's right, but then uses it to fuel her own ideas which normally become worse extremes of the original problem. She thinks that pointing out the flaws of everything makes her a better person, but as we see in the show, it just makes everyone consider her to be shallow and self-righteous, which isn't always untrue.

Before I was diagnosed on the spectrum, there was a christmas where my mom was just too busy to do any of our usual rituals and. I absolutely broke down. I was angry and confused and felt empty that our traditions that we always kept up even after our family fell apart were just...a part of the past now. I didn’t realize why it was hitting me so hard, just that I felt like the world was falling apart, had no meaning anymore. I feel for abed so strongly in this episode. The collapse of rituals and traditions can be world shattering for autistics to cope with.

You do a great job of taking Dan Harmon's formula for writing and break it down to how it makes the whole story have meaning and a purpose. Keep up the great work. I cannot wait to see more!

After watching it immediately had to search for a video about it because I knew I couldn’t be the only one to think that this is episode is one of the most beautiful works of art to be put on television. This video made me cry more than the episode itself. It’s amazing. You expertly broke down this genius episode with an even more genius analysis. You should be very very proud of this video

When you're making a nearly 30 minute video on it, you really begin to notice how much love and detail went into every shot. One of my favorites is in the scene right after "designated holiday zones" where you can see someone comforting the person celebrating Hannakuh behind Abed. It's such a small, insignificant detail, but they still thought to put it in there even though it probably added even more work for the animators.

It's fucking nightmare organizing a family holiday that doesn't cost a lot of money and take fuck ton of preparation. What I don't understand is why she implied they'll never see each other during Christmas times, like I'd understand she couldn't make it work this year but why she automatically assumes it's never possible...? That's why I always assumed that she moved to Poland or somewhere really far away, that's the reason she can't hang out with abed anymore. Because what kind of mother just abandones their child if she's just few states away? I'd really like some backstory there. Did the show ever say WHERE Abed's mom went?

I have a couple months to get my ass in gear though, plenty of time to appreciate a man i'd call more of a brother than a friend and properly experience being overseas on my own for the first time. never thought a video analysing a community episode would make me so introspective, i really appreciate the work and effort you put into your projects. happy new year, keep it real

This is great work. Insightful, heartfelt, and moving - much like the episode itself. I only realized the true magical genius of this episode when I re-watched it today, after seeing your analysis. Video essays like this (and having 9 years of life experiences since I first saw the episode) make it easier to appreciate a beautifully told story full of meaning, like this gem of an episode.

I know this is an Abed episode but, man, you nailed on your description of Britta. She is such and underrated character. Sometimes I think the show treats her so poorly.

You'll never get that feeling back but you can give it to someone else if you find some way to spend your Christmas with kids. My little sister is 12 and even though there's no santa anymore, she still wakes everyone up at 7am on Christmas morning pumping us full of coffee so we can watch her unwrap her gifts :')

a detail i really enjoy about this episode is how big abed's eyes are compared to everyone else, in this world he still has wide eyed wonder while everyone else is there for group therapy.

Rankin/Bass didn’t use Claymation (TM). Not only is that a trademarked term, their animation used armatured figures without clay and is properly referred to as “stop-motion animation.”

Bro, you making me fight back tears at work with this one. I'm just listening to it (like a podcast) with the video minimized opening it up on occasion but it seems pretty clear to me that you you went through something similar and the holidays often serve as a sorrowful reminder. Wish you the best mate and hope you find (have found) a new meaning to Christmas.
