Happy Christma-tele-kwanz-ukah-vision everybody! This is my celebration of the holiday season through television- one holiday-themed episode a day all the way until Christmas (and for the most part the episodes will be Christmas based. I've yet to see a kwanza television episode, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open). Enjoy the spirit of the holidays through the medium of television- make yourself a cup of hot coco, snuggle up in a blanket and immerse yourself in the season.

Psych “Gus’ Dad May Have Killed an Old
Guy” 2x10
Psych mixes
murder and merriment in this Christmas episode, where Gus’ parents seem to be
likely suspects for the murder of the old scrooge next door. While the Gusters are trying to prove their
innocence, Shawn is trying to prove to them his positive influence on Gus. After all, Gus never took up smoking because
as children Shawn once made him smoke a whole pack- see? Good influence… As Shawn and Gus try to clear Gus’ parents,
they uncover the murder victim’s Rear
Window-esque behavior, as well as a possible tell-tale heart. The case is finally resolved through the use
of Gus’ superpower- the super sniffer; a power apparently inherited from his
parents. Back at the station, Juliet is
excited for her family’s Scottish Christmas traditions, that is until Lassiter
comes over and aggressively takes over the kids’ crafts. Although Juliet struggles to tell Lassie why
he can’t come over for Christmas dinner, he lets her off the hook, having come
to a very different conclusion about her reasoning.
Some of the best moments: Lassie's unique fear of snow globes, a Christmas-themed them song, and the holiday tradition that Shawn and his dad share. Sometimes (always) Shawn’s brilliance takes
me by surprise, and in the end of this episode, it surprises Henry too. Maybe Shawn really is a psychic…
