My goodness. This has always been one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files. The casting, the writing, and the story are perfect for Christmas. I love how Scully gripes about how she needs to wrap presents and spread joy instead of being out with Mulder chasing ghosts.the casting of Ed Asnrr and Lilly Tomlin as the ghosts could not have been better. The exchanges between Scully and Mulder show how well Anderson and Duchovny's characters matured during the series, they can be serious and funny at the same time and play so well off of each other. The discovery of the bodies under the floor in their clothes and Mulder's comment to Scully about it being embarrassing until she pointed out that the male was wearing his clothes was hysterical. Of course there are the exchanges between them and the ghosts. The episode has such a great and unexpected ending gave it an added twist, but not Oliver.
