We don't get too many real life winter episodes in LHOTP. It seems to always be hot, when it reality they would have lots of hard winters. In this episode, the snow is melting though I do believe they got snow on Christmas Eve.
There was nothing amazing or dramatic in this episode, really. The sweetness of what Laura did for her family is kinda neat, but there's really nothing one can't live without. Nellie is her own self person as usual. I'm always amazed that Nels let her have the horse...
One thing in this episode that really annoys me is the fact that Mary and Laura say Thank you on Christmas morning about fifty times. I mean, it is polite to say thank you, but it was really over-played in this episode!
We meet a new semi-regular character - the widow, Mrs. Wipple begins her stint in this episode as Walnut Grove's seamstress. Bunny is also a temporary player. He gets a few episode this season and next season before he meets his tragic end in death.
All in all, it's a good episode, though not as dramatic as most of them.
