Bright Solstice, witches!

Instead, itsalmosta period piece, but not quite.

In my professional recapping opinion, this show should totally just be set in the 1960s!

Why does anyone have to astral project if they can just use their cell phones?

You see where Im going with this.

Why not just give the witches a spell that lets them time travel and get on with it?

Lots of missed opportunities, here.

Seriously?Thatswhat shes always wanted to do?

Doesnt Greendale have some Abercrombie-equivalent where the cool mall teens would want to be working for the holidays?

Aunt Zelda has named the baby she abducted Letitia and is spoiling it with solstice gifts.

Sabrina is moping around because shes sad about Harvey and because she misses her mom.

(This is a recurring issue withCAoS: Howhardis magic, anyway?

If Sabrina hasnt ever taken magic classes, how is she any good at it?)

Of course, this seance makes the yule log go out and some baddies get in through the chimney.

Sabrina is in trouble, but she explains to her aunts that she saw her mom in limbo.

Zelda is offended Sabrina didnt come to her for assistance, and I agree!

Think I just decided what to write on my holiday cards this year!

Youre allowed to kidnap babies but Im not allowed to want to contact my mother?

God, Sabrina, dont be so dramatic.

So, naturally, she gives Harvey the eggnog with no explanation or disclaimer.

Didnt we already do the thing where the demon has a mom-demon who has to come fetch it?

The demon mom comes and some baby-trickery ensues.

Diana, who never really left, shows up wearing a crown.

She speaks with the authority of the day and the night or whatever.

Who gets to keep baby Letitita?

But in a witchy twist, when Zelda lets go, Diana gives the baby to the demon.

But inanothertwist, we learn that that baby was just a decoy and the real baby is safe.

Hilda makes some magical baked goods so Susies dad will forget this ever happened.

All these witches are awfully lax about their mind-altering substances.

Sabrina wants to know what to do about Harvey: Can a mortal and a witch make it work?

Diana tells her, basically, no.

On Christmas Eve, Harvey comes over to tell Sabrina that he knows the eggnog was enchanted.

Our holiday special ends with Ambrose readingA Christmas Carol.

Oh, also, some demon men are coming out of the mines.

But well deal with them when the show comes back in April!

Or do we still think something suspicious went down?
