Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When the staff forgets about Christmas, Dwight is able to throw his version of Christmas.
Our Take
Dwight running a Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas is exactly the kind of weirdo premise this show still nails in its final season, and Rainn Wilson commits fully to Belsnickel’s “Peltsch” and “Impish” judgments. The cold open with Nellie and the toy drive is a nice touch too. It’s a light, funny half hour with a sweet ending, well worth a watch even if the Jim and Pam tension simmering underneath keeps things slightly uneasy.
