Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

If you are a doctor at Seattle Grace, you either go kookoo for Christmas or you are a bona fide holiday hater. Izzie falls into the former category, and the rest of the gang try to accommodate her since she's all depressed about Alex. They also help Alex study for his practical exam, which of course causes Izzie to pout and whine and yell at all of them. She finally comes around and decides to help, too, with only a tiny bit of crying. Cristina, meanwhile, is even grinchier than you may have expected -- going so far as to make fun of Burke in his own operating room for his display of Christmas spirit -- but finds a little spirit of her own with the help of a reluctant young heart transplant patient whom she teaches to believe in medicine, if not Santa Claus. Other patients include a man whose brain surgery changes his personality for the worse, much to the dismay of his family; and a woman with some incredibly overbearing relatives, whose ulcer surgery has been put off for so long that her insides perforate. And finally, the moment we all (well, some) have been waiting for: McDreamy tells Addison that he's still in love with Meredith. Merry Christmas!
