A Halliwell Holiday Review
Written By: Melissa

Very original idea, we never seem to get annual celebrations in 'Charmed', I think the most we've ever got is Prue's birthday and Halloween. I liked the demon, sorry, I mean Shadow, he was different and I liked that he wasn't interested in killing them, though where is Draco? I'm starting to forget about him, he hasn't been behind anything since 'The Power of Four'. I was slightly disappointed with the climax though, it was a bit anti-climatic. Santa and the elves were groovy, though I'm not sure why Phoebe couldn't see them and just where was the Magical Kingdom and how did they get there?

I was surprised that Piper and Leo were having marital problems, they seemed so happy in 'The Ex-Files'. I see what Leo meant with the hormones thing though, one minute Piper was chuckling the next, whacking him and what was with that? It was funny but random. Cole and Phoebe were together and they seemed very happy and comfortable together, I liked their couples looking for trees thing at the beginning, but I think Cole needs more of a dangerous edge to be the demon we know and all have the hots for. Paige is being nicely supportive of Piper at a time when I think she may have irritated even me, her number 1 fan. Yay! Santa got Paige and Matt back together, but will that be a good thing or not, as he's still lying (if only by omission) to her? 7/10, the demon ass-kicking features needed to be brought to the fore.
