Goofs

Entertaining but preachy

I typically like the character Kenneth, but force-feeding his religion, via office intervention complete with a pastor, to people who don't share the same enthusiasm for Christmas's supposed religious foundation was annoying to me as a viewer.

The episode's writing, jokes, and the continued character development through Liz's family coming to visit we're all really well constructed.

A very good episode with just the one obnoxious and unappreciated helping of religious junk that detracted from the B story.
