Does the mere idea of stepping into another mall, watching It’s a Wonderful Life for the zillionth
time, or talking to your loved ones make you throw up? Then settle your bowlful
of jelly into the La-Z-Boy® and deck your hall with today’s installment of Psychobabble’s 12 Days of X-Mas Episodes instead!
Merry vegetating!
Series: The X-Files
Episode: “How the
Ghosts Stole Christmas”, in which Mulder does a totally Muldery thing by
dragging Scully to an alleged haunted house on Christmas Eve. There the shows’
heroes encounter a pair of goofy ghosts played by Lily Tomlin and Ed Asner who
scheme to manipulate Mulder and Scully into reenacting their own Yuletide murder-suicide.
Merry! Tomlin comes close to upstaging the series’ main characters, but the
real stars are the ingenious special effects and haunted house setting with its
neat trick rooms.
