Grey's Anatomy Holiday Episode
Rather than airing separate holiday specials this year Grey's Anatomy had one episode that included all three of the holidays Thansgiving, Christmas, and New Years.This poignant episode covered the holidays from all perspectives on the holidays. Regardless of one's feelings about the holidays you could appreciate the light that the show cast on the holiday season.
The perspective on Thanksgiving that Meredith and her friends gave is one that many of us can understand especially with the current economy. This year has been tough for so many that it is easier to think of the things that we are not thankful for rather than those silver lining that we ought to be thankful for because even in the worst storms of life there is that rainbow that appears after the storm passes. Many times it takes awhile for the storm to stop raging, the skies to clear, and the rainbow to appear; although, it always does the question though is whether or not our eyes our open to seeing this welcoming site that it trying to tell us that all will be okay.
As I watched the episode, the part where Meredith and her friends named off what they are not thankful for such as the merger. My list of things that I am unthankful popped into my head as well. It took me a moment to stop and ask myself to think of the silver lining of all those dark clouds. I encourage other fans that had the same thoughts to think of how they can turn around their thoughts and reflect upon what they are trully thankful in spite of all the challenges the year has brought to them and their families.
What a surprise Mark Sloan got when his daughter showed up for Thanksgiving. Talk about unexpected twists. Yet, the one that I feel the most for is Lexi because the news is most surprising for her. A daughter only a few years younger than his girlfriend. That is a concept that can be hard for any girlfriend to handle; although, Lexi was fairly understanding in this episode I wondering what will happen if his daughter stays long-term or permanently. Definitely with Mark's daughter saying she is pregnant at the end of the show with nowhere to go and no one to turn to for help it definitely sounds like she may be a character in future episodes. It will be interesting to watch and see the dynamics if indeed Mark Sloan's daughter does remain a charcter in future episodes.
Dr. Bailey a newly single mother after divorcing her husband had her own unique challenges to face this holiday season. After a family member , let's the cat out of the bag about her divorce Dr. Bailey's father comes for an unexpected visit. This forces Dr. Bailey to make holiday plans to try to prove to her father that she has some type of life. The challenge is getting her father to understand her choices. The interesting twist is that Dr. Bailey fears being judged when many times in the past we have seen Dr. Bailey pass judgement on other colleagues. The visit of her father definitely helps fans to better understand Dr. Bailey's character.
