Lacey Chabert's character was too apologetic. She gets a wish that lasts 48 hrs and when that wish is present she returns to her apologetic ways when the force of the wish has diminished. The Santa that empowers her needed to be more specific regarding what happens when the power of the wish is gone. Apparently for the next 48 hrs she will be given the necessary confidence to speak her mind in an appropriate way. This episode is one continuous apology after another. And were the sub plots that were ok. As a viewer I knew when Chabert's courage to speak kicked in. When it was gone the apology showed its ugly face (so unnecessary). In the final scene you have Lacey and Paul finally realizing thy like each other and do the kiss. I was expecting the director to say, "Cut ... that's a wrap". No there is a final final scene where Paul's family shows up to join the Office Christmas party in what has become a festive celebration. Yawn ...
