 This is by far, my favorite episode from CBSRMT, though admittedly, it has some flawed and poorly thought out logic. For starters, I find it highly unlikely that anyone wouldn't have seen their parents in 12 years, yet could pick up the phone and talk to them about coming home for the holidays as if no time had passed at all. To me, that's just too much of a stretch. Secondly, as someone else pointed out, the whole conversation with her father on the phone seemed odd. Did he hear her? One is lead to believe he did, as he confirmed that he'd meet them at the station. Yes, upon hearing that they were in Taylortown, he clearly didn't have a clue where that was. At the end, he claims no one phoned. Hmmmm. Despite these oddities, I think this is a perfect, curl up next to the fire, type of story, and my own kids have grown to adulthood listening to it and making it very much their own tradition, before turning in to bed for the night on Christmas Eve.
