Sylvia Bond is a ten-year technical writing veteran with too many degrees under her belt to count. She lives in Colorado, but does not ski, preferring instead to spend her money and time at the annual Great American Beer Festival, taking road trips across the United States, and reading historical fiction from the comfort of her fluffy green arm chair. She has been involved in fandom since 1993 and been writing fanfic since approximately 1993. What she finds most amazing about fandom (besides the open heartedness of fans and the sheer amount of creativity) is how visible fandom has become. "In my day," she says, "we had to hide behind P.O. boxes to get fanfic. But nowadays, people wear t-shirts that shout their affiliation and share their shiny toys on the internet." It's a wonderful world.

As usual, a comprehensive, delightful review. This episode had it all, and for those who don’t like RuBela, neither of them! I loved every aspect of this ep, as you did, and for exactly the same reasons. Horror, humor, ick factor, grossness, creepy villains couched in Ozzie’n'Harriet shells, plus a dollop of brotherly angst and sweetness that almost made me forget how much I despise this dreadful holiday season! Go, Kripke, Padalecki, Ackles, and the entire crew of SUPERNATURAL. You hit this one right out of the park, and that ball will never be recovered! Love, Robin
Lovely review as always!
Dear Robin,
Thank you, sweetie, I’m so pleased to hear this! And pleased to hear that I whacked it out of the park, that is the highest praise ever! What a wonderful gift the Supernatural crew gave us – I hope they had as much fun making it as we did watching it. Or rather, absorbing it, as there are so many little moments and details that only the pleasure of repeated watchings will reveal. Take the best care of yourself, okay? (Holidays are hard; the Winchester boys just made this one a little easier, eh?)
Best Regards,
Sylvia
Dear Amalthia,
Thank you, dear, as always, for reading and letting me know how much you liked my review. I really, really, really appreciate it!
Best Regards,

Sylvia,
There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this episode. I sat in stunned silence, for a few minutes and when I got up from the couch, I swear my knees went weak. Jared and Jensen are the most believable siblings to ever grace the television screen. You can feel how much they love and respect each other. It comes across in each and every scene they are in together. Wow, just wow! Thank you for bringing this show back to me in each wonderful scene. You capture everything. All of the nuances and the emotions and the pathos Jared and Jensen bring to the screen. I heard ‘Have yourself a Merry little Christmas’ on the way home from work last night and I started crying. I am so invested in these characters and it is a testament to the ‘awesomeness’ that is the Winchester boys! Thanks again, Sylvia!
Dear Joan,
Thank you for both reading and enjoying. The boys certainly were awesome and didn’t they just bring about the Christmas spirit singlehandedly? It was a pleasure and a joy to review this ep and to share it. I hope your holidays were marvlous!
Best Regards,
Sylvia
