The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion. Artie, Single-T Tina, Guy With Gross Hair Whose Name I Really Should Know Right Now Because Brittany Just Said It A Couple Of Scenes Ago, New Quinn, and New Finn have joined Stupid Boring New Idiot Rachel and Bloaty The Gravy Clown on the stage to perform this evening's final number amid a small copse of fake Christmas trees. As Coach Sylvester and Mama Rose take their seats out in the audience, the children begin their rendition of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" unaccompanied, with Stupid Boring New Idiot Rachel taking the lead, and just as the band kicks in, the action jumps over to...

...BreadstiX, where The Puckersons serenade The Puckermoms with a couple of lines before joining Lady Lips and Brit-Brit over by the restaurant's tree to entertain the crowd at large, and in a cleansing burst of synchronicity...

...Dreamboat Blaine and St. Gay Of Lima just happen to be singing the very same song all the way over in Brooklyn! I know! The camera lingers for a couple of vile moments on the repugnant vegan meal they've prepared for poor dying Burt's last Christmas dinner on earth before heading back to...

...the school, where fake snow has begun to fall on the stage, thanks to the cheerful efforts of Becky up in the flies. From here, we keep hopping from established location to established location until the song reaches its mellow conclusion, and as Coach Sylvester smiles in spite of herself, we finally cut to black.

No new episodes until January 24th, which is perhaps the best holiday present of all. Enjoy the time off, and we'll see you back here in the new year.

It goes without saying that Judy did it better. You may agree to agree with Demian at demian_twop@yahoo.com.
