    I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this in the comments, but there’s some heartwarming brilliance to Pierce being the only one to make it to the North Pole with Abed. Earlier that season, Pierce’s mother passed away and he had a crisis of faith. He knows what it’s like to lose a mom and have your status quo shaken. So him sticking by his side and trying to actually help him is really sweet (it also makes the line about him not going home for Christmas kind of sad too).

    It's a small detail but I like how as Pierce connects with Abed he also starts to see wonderland. At the start he says he can only see the study room. Then once they get to the cave of frozen memories he says "what do youean cave-like? it's a cave" and by the end of the episode he's asking abed what he sees. I just find it nice as one of the few episodes where Pierce is genuinely empathetic.

    Rewatching it recently, it made me realize how much Pierce wants to be a part of the group as much as he acts the opposite. That was a genuine moment of Pierce connecting with Abed, and then we get to D&D where none of them, even Abed the DM, invited him to join. Which then leads well into the overdose episode.

    His behavior is closer to psychopathy than autism. Psychopaths have difficulty interpreting facial expression and appropriate behavior per social situation. The only thing that sets him apart from a true psychopath is that he doesn't interact with others solely for his own benefit, thus firefighting the accompanying traits like being opportunistic, deceptive and manipulative. However, these traits easily define Jeff's core personality. Autism exists on a spectrum and is characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. Autistics have difficulty with communication and social situations because they are so deeply introverted that they are prone to disregarding external stimulation including people talking to them or even imminent danger. There is an argument for Abed possibly having Asperger's Syndrome, but he is far too coordinated, open to behavior modification and he is not nearly offensive enough. He also does not have an over developed sense of self worth, which is typical of Asperger's.

    I'm a freelance animator, and my mentor who taught me stop motion worked on this special (along with basically ANY stop motion production you can think of, she's incredible)! I remember her saying that this was a lot of fun, and that the team was super respectful of the animators. A lot of live-action production teams don't really understand how animation works, or how much time and effort goes into it, so they're kind of dismissive and frustrating to deal with, but she said that the Community people were lovely and courteous. It shows in the product, as well, because all of their parodies always feel like they're done with a lot of love and understanding of the source material!

I related with Abed a lot in high school and being the weird person who relates to people through movies and books, it was the show that made me realize, “Wow, I’m not the only one.” And it was the thing I watched every week to make me happy. Abed’s Christmas special was definitely an episode I watched over and over when it was released.

    Something I'd like to add onto this just a smig: Christmas has evolved into much more than a Christian holiday, so many common traditions or images we have for Christmas aren't even Christian. Hanging a wraith is a Wiccan tradition, kissing under a misteltoe is Druidic, decorating a tree in an ode to the god Saturn, etc. It's a collection of a lot of general beliefs and traditions which is why it's a fitting national Holiday for the US, a nation founded on multiple cultures and people inhabiting a new world. You don't have to be a Christian to celebrate it and you don't have to follow the traditions, it can be anything you believe it to be because that's what it has evolved into.

    I think the think Schaff brought up with how the church moved the date of Christmas to accommodate the people and not the people conforming to what the church did illustrates this point really well. Christmas isn't by a long stretch just about Jesus. Most European cultures had some kind of winter celebration because of how important the harvest was and how devastating winter could be, so all these regional variants kept being celebrated even with Christianity in the mix.

    Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas is definitely one of Community's strongest episodes, but I dislike how it meshes with season 1's Christmas episode. The whole point of that episode had to do with how most of the main cast didn't celebrate Christmas, and it did a great job showing how the holiday season feels for other cultures. When Annie & Abed just announce all of a sudden that they actually celebrated Christmas the whole time, it kinda contorts the meaning of that previous episode. Season 3's Christmas episode takes this much further, and by then it starts to feel like the writers see the cast's cultural differences are an annoyance to write around, and not an important part of who they are.

    When John Oliver leaves the cave of frozen memories he plays the beginning of all star in reverse to parody Shrek. Respect.

    I started watching community after seeing your upload, Schaff. This show was life-changing. I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and watching Abed made me feel seen long before I even knew what I had.
