sweet, original, should be a classic Christmas episode
2 August 2011 | by (California, United States) – See all my reviews

With so many corny and trite, distasteful Christmas-themed films and TV shows produced all the time, this segment of Ally is refreshingly sweet, sentimental, and ultimately touching in more ways than one--I think it really adds depth to the personalities of the characters and portrays the magic of Christmas in an original way, sure to affect those, such as myself, who never watched Ally until the reruns caught my attention over vacation! I think it should be a regular feature of Christmas programming each year, such as "It's a Wonderful LIfe', etc.. You really can enjoy the show even if you have never watched any other Ally shows, and never intend to watch any in the future!
