Now, I know I am slightly biased because I am a huge fan of Dean's, but Charles and Almanzo have many wonderful scenes together in this episode. One thing that sticks out to me in this episode is how much a part of the cast Dean Butler and his character Almanzo have become by this point. Edwards coming for Christmas dinner when the Ingalls family lived in their little cabin in Kansas, and Hester Sue shares a Christmas as a black child from the south living during the Civil War.Įach story is touching and every story speaks volumes of what we have come to love about Little House on the Prairie. We learn about how Caroline came to accept Papa Holbrook, and the Christmas that Almanzo almost stopped believing in Santa Claus. Caroline, Almanzo, Laura and Hester Sue each share a bit of themselves with the entire group. The family sits around telling stories of Christmases past. We don't see Mary and Adam again, something that always makes me sad, as I wish they could have returned for the final movie. By this time Mary and Adam are living in New York, and Hester Sue brings them to Walnut Grove as a surprise.

This is the last time that we see every member of the Ingalls clan together. That the little house on Plum Creek got blasted with so much snow that all their guests had to spend the night, is just one of the many things that makes this episode so special, as does the wonderful music that Michael Landon decided to use. (Rolled up sleeves around Christmas in Minnesota?)

Most likely because the show was filmed in California, and based upon my conversation with Kent McCray, it seems to have taken a great deal of effort to create those snowy scenes.

While the show ran for nine seasons plus three additional movies, we didn't see episodes surrounding Christmas often-and I don't think the last Christmas episode ( Bless All the Dear Children) had any snow in it. Christmas always inspires me to share my thoughts, and this episode of Little House on the Prairie is a favorite of mine.
