TV shows are either holiday-themed or on holiday break. Fortunately these two didn't disappoint.
The Office: Was frankly a tad worried about this one; hour-long eps of sitcoms have a tendency to be half an hour of funny and half an hour of filler. This, tho, was effing brilliant. A terrifically solid hour full of humor, heartbreak and holiday-centric racial confusion. Harold Ramis directed – it’s prolly the best thing he’s done since Groundhog Day.
The OC: Was even more concerned about this one, as the “scenes from next week’s episode” showed they were going the It’s a Wonderful Life route. But my fears were unfounded – this Chrismukkah was crazy good. The alternate universe take on the town was tons of fun, we FINALLY put Marissa to bed, and Ryan & Taylor got a couple steps closer.

I hope you are right about the deleted scene for "The Office" (explaining why there was a switch of the Asian Hooter chicks). I will be looking for it online this week.
The Office, in my opinion, recaptured its mojo this week after a lackluster episode. The union between Pam & Karen makes things much more interesting and weird.
I am in the minority. I thought the Xmas Office was a tad weak, but still entertaining.
