I love Christmas episodes so I’d been looking forward to this one for quite some time now. Add to that, the fact that Zooey (Deschanel – Emily’s sister) is in it, and let’s just say that I’d been expecting something amazing. I usually get let down when my expectations are (too) high, but this was a good one.

Why would you call out “security” as loud as you can when you see someone robbing the cashier? Seriously, the dude’s an idiot. There’s a reason these places have silent alarms and not big sirens going off when they’re being robbed. Duh.

Why does Brennan keep insisting on going to El Salvador for Christmas? lol. Her father brings home this great three and she’s talking about El Salvador?! Booo!

Cousins in Minnesota = MySpace Buddies. Yeah, I can see that. lol.

OMG! His bomb detonated! Dude! Seems like he was forced into doing it somehow. “I just answered the call”. Hmm. (Notice the flying taxi-diver in the second screen. lol! Oh, and the third is so cool!)

Cam: We have to bag her and take her to the lab.

Brennan: We’re gonna need some bags Cam!
Booth: No, no no.
Brennan: I’m sorry Booth, but you’re evidence now.

Brennan[to Booth]: I have to remove your clothing now.

Hmm, Booth is a little to into the whole my-clothes-are-being-taken-off-by-the-woman-I-love thing to pay attention to what she’s actually saying. lol. He got the Christmas-dinner invitation though. :P

And some more… Seriously suggestive. lol. ;)

LOL – Cam!

Now this is just too hilarious… She’s actually rolling him out to examine him further in front of everyone?! LOL!

Angela: Are we doing experiments on Booth? ‘Cause if so, I’d like to help.

Daisy: Oh, agent Booth, you look… wow.
Agreed!

Hodgins[too Booth]: Where’s your chest-hair?

Booth in a squint-shirt and no pants!

I do celebrate Christmas (mostly ’cause I think it’s a nice time of the year for a break and spending some time with family), but I completely agree with Daisy. Why should we celebrate the birth if Jesus in December when he was born in the spring? It’s hilarious to be honest, and completely ridiculous!

Brennan[about Booth]: I should warn you, he’s very hard to resist.

Yay, Zooey!
Max: It’s an uncanny resemblance, you’re practically sisters.

Benjamin Franklin? Oh god, she’s gonna be quoting him through the whole episode, isn’t she? Why do I have the feeling that she’ll drive everyone insane?

Aww, it’s nice to see Angela working for once, and not just running into a room with a photo in her hand.

Oh, Michelle’s back! Great! Only now missing now is Parker (and Jared, but he might as well stay away. lol.)

Aw, she’s leaving Cam alone for Christmas? That’s gotta be disappointing.

Yeah, right, there’s no resemblance what-so-ever between Brennan and Margret… LOL.

Oooh, No she didn’t! OMG! Talk about being “the cousin from hell”. She actually complained about how Booth looks! OMG – She’s mental! lol.

Brennan[about Booth]: Well, I have to admit, I find him pleasing to look at.

Aw, Bones was kinda crying in that car scene. I can’t believe she actually wants to go to a funeral. She’s definitely changing rapidly.

Go Cam! Definitely the right choice keeping Michelle home for Christmas, no matter how mad she may get.

Yay, everyone showed up for Christmas dinner! Awesome!

Brennan: I’d rather hear what you have to say than Benjamin Franklin.
Margret: That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.

lol @ Brennan’s “Christmas speech”.
