"Poor Johnny goes through quite the journey to get the Christmas Eve celebration he craves so badly. It takes a while to get his family on board — what with David's refusal to spend money on decorations instead of an espresso machine and Alexis's misunderstanding about the guest list — but after Johnny storms off to the Café for meatloaf night, they wind up pulling together the perfect last-minute bash in the motel to surprise him. The look of joy on Johnny's face when he spots the glued-together tree decked out in garland and lights is too pure for this world, proving he's a treasure we must protect at all costs." — VM
