"The Plight Before Christmas"

15 December 2022: Every holiday season, I rewatch the Bob's Burgers Christmas episodes again and again. I saved the most recent one until this morning, an icy day when campus was closed and I needed a treat to start off a long, solitary day. And my goodness: did I love it. One of the great wonders of this show is how it blends biting humor with real sweetness and sincerity--and characters who seem so real. And when a certain reveal happened? I literally started sobbing.
