How many times have you been embraced with some sort of an enlightment to be able to catch --or at least you think you do-- the meaning behind something cleverly planned? The one that brings about a sincere smile on your face, lighten it up a bit? Little thing like that makes your uneventful life a bit worth living.

I am talking about the scenes toward the end of The X-Files Season 6's How the Ghost Stole Christmas. There was the clever use of what boiled down as the popular meaning of Christmas as depicted on carols such as this, especially on the following part:




Mulder and Scully exchanged gun shots, followed by Mulder descended on his knees towards where Scully lay down, bloods were all over the two, hence, their "troubles will be miles away" (soon).

As they come to realize what had truly happened, that it was all just in their heads, they become once again two faithful friends.

Hmmmhh, I don't think it tranlates well, it's more of a reference for myself anyway.

I like the sound of the carol played on gramophone on that haunted house, it ties everything up. All in all, one very well written episode.
