| Synopsis | Hookups |
| Everyone seems to be having a Merry Christmas except the people at Seattle Grace. Izzie can't get into the holiday spirit because she's still p.o.'ed at Alex, who for his part is convinced that he'll fail again when he takes his board exams for the second time. Back at the hospital, Bailey maintains her backbreaking schedule despite her pregnancy; George can't help but feel that his patient's obnoxious relatives are the root cause for her gastric ulcer; and Cristina and Burke have a theological argument while trying to persuade a 10-year-old to undergo a heart transplant. Finally, though Derek and Addison have reconciled for the umpteenth time, it doesn't last long--a fact that doesn't make Addison happy, but which may turn out to be the best Christmas present that Meredith ever had. |
| Recap of Events: |
A young boy needs a heart transplant but doesn’t seem to want it, and his treatment causes Burke and Cristina to have philosophical differences. Meanwhile, when the interns rally to help Alex prepare to re-take his exam, Meredith has to remind Izzie of the true spirit of the Christmas holiday; and despite a reconciliation with his wife, Derek isn’t in a festive mood. |

| Opening Statement/Quote: |
It's an urban myth that suicide rates spike at the holidays. Turns out they actually go down. Experts think it's because people are less inclined to off themselves when surrounded by family. Ironically, that same family togetherness is thought to be the reason that depression rates actually do spike at the holidays. Yeah, okay. Izzie doesn't count. |
| Ending Statement/Quote: |
There's an old proverb that says you can't choose your family. You take what the fates hand you. And like them or not, love them or not, understand them or not, you cope. Then there's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe |
