This episode is all about Christmas lights. Judging by the title, I expected the episode to take place at Christmas, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it take place three weeks after it, which is made clear to the audience when a postal worker arrives delivering Alexa’s Christmas mail, only for her to point out that three weeks have
