The Gay Guide to Glee: Season 2 Episode 10, “A Very Glee Christmas

When my boyfriend was a kid, he loved Christmas. He is an open and loving spirit in general, so this isn’t that surprising. But his emotional connection to the holiday was transcendent, bordering on troubling (or perhaps even annoying). To wit: there was a rule in his family that he and his two older siblings had to wait, at the very earliest, until the sun came up on December 25 before they could venture downstairs and begin tearing the wrappings off their be-conifered bundles of joy. But somehow this was too much of a restriction on his exuberant essence, and he would begin banging around in his room starting around 4:00 or 5:00 a.m., champing at the bit and waking up everyone else, thus Ruining Christmas by both disrupting his kin’s diurnal cycles, and interrupting their ability to sleep off their eggnog and tryptophan hangovers. So one fair Noel, his parents and siblings conspired to put a stop to this practice, sneaking into his room on Christmas Eve while he slumbered, and hanging thick swaths of black velvet over his windows. As the story goes, they all then woke up the next morning at a normal hour, gorged themselves on bacon and eggs and biscuits, and began exuberantly opening their gifts, while my BF laid in his room until well into morning’s double-digits, waiting for (false) dawn. When he finally realized, he was crushed—the holiday was never the same for him.This week’s Christmas-themed episode of Glee was just like this.
