You all know what to do.

I am at Disney world, so I won't be watching live, but I think I will have to download it. Someone message me and let me know how much of the episode was NYC so I can decide if it is worth downloading.

Hehheh per USATODAY:

Glee | Fox, 9 ET/PT
Glee heads off on its winter break with a mock "previously unaired" Christmas episode set in 2012. Ignore the plot — which with Glee is generally good advice — and focus on the music.

^ i never focus on the plot. glee has no meaningful plot whatsoever.

True.

Wow... who would have thought that we would get continuity in an "unaired" episode that doesn't seem to fit into the time line in any capacity.

They remembered that Kurt plays the piano.

Is it too much for me to wish that the noobs might accidently impale themselves on those antlers? That tree just can't be safe.

wow, nobody watches this tonight? i watched parts of it. so many NY scenes! almost half of it and i am quite happy! who cares if the plot is silly. kurt gets to screw (or get screwed by) the "hot santa". yay! how do i love the smooches!!! hehehehe.....

where is everybody today??? helloooo??????????????????????????

And Cody (hot Santa).

Fans were raging about Cody saying Kurt was toothless, but they obviously weren't listening to what was said properly.

What I have he liked kissing Kurt because it was like he was toothless. So in Glee's weird way they were paying a compliment to Kurt/Chris.

Everyone seems to be on tumblr going nuts.

But others are upset as well.

So, I am confused.

Guess I have to wait for a download and base my on opinions instead of reading others on tumblr.

What the hell did I just watch? It was cracky, borderline offensive, fairly raunchy, and I kinda liked it.  

Poor Kurt. I felt bad for him getting tied up and robbed blind, but I loved him getting drunk, horny, and stupid. Don't worry, Kurt. You'll meet a sweet and equally hot guy, who's going to be crazy about you real soon. Sadly, the writers won't let you keep him, because you're apparently destined to be anchored to that grease ball forever. (FYI. I'll look the other way, if you want to have a fling with Elliot/Starchild .)

In the mean time, get some from SexyBisexualSanta. Thief or no thief, you can at least run your fingers through his hair.

i assume this "cody" guy is a one time shot and won't recurring. ok. i already kinda forgot his face. i know kurt did stupid things but that's actually hilarious. love to see chris getting some comedy and screen time too.

I love it too.

It is so confusing at the moment on tumblr.

I have one side Klainers saying Chris looked uncomfortable in the scene with hot Santa (because they probably like to think Chris is some virginal guy).  

There are others saying Kurt was sexually assaulted, and others loving the scene.

Klainers are attacking Ryan and the writers on twitter because of Kurt being with a guy that wasn't Blaine.

This Cody was a hook up, a one night stand.

And from what you said Kim we got a lot of New York, which would make me happy.

Kurt is a young adult, the sex if any would have been consensual, so I am confused why some are calling it sexual assault.

Chris tweeted about this scene so he enjoyed it.

Wouldn't Chris know more than us fans would, as he had the script.

Now the Blarren stans (disguised as Klainers, because they aren't) are attacking poor Chris on twitter.  
I don't get angry anymore and just roll my eyes as Chris would probably do the same.

They are blaming him for this episode and accusing him of hating Klaine, which he does, so why bring it up?

Though hate might be too strong, but not supporting the pairing maybe sounds better.

kurt was newly single so he can do whatever he wanted, including having fun w/ any guy he found attractive. forget about those crazy fans. they want blaine they can grab him for themselves. leave kurt (and definitely chris) alone! Geez.

anyway, just ignore those idiots' cries. i enjoyed hte NY part and didn't really watch the high school part because i was using those moment to make dinner. but I do gather that there's little blaine in it? which is why I am also happy.  

I can't watch the episode for at least 10 more hours but I need to know did Kurt do it with Sexy Santa?

Some are saying yes, but I suggest just watch the episode.  

The fandom is a real mess on tumblr.

It's like entering a bi-polar universe.

There are Kurtsies upset, Blarren stans raging, then there are Kurtsies that loved the episode and the scene with Kurt and hot Santa.

This does sound like an episode I will enjoy as someone described it as black comedy (what Glee used to do) and just cracktastic.

Chris called this a naughty scene so he must think hot Santa had no intention of harming Kurt or the girls in anyway or most likely he was told that before they shot the scene, that hot Santa was a common thief, an opportunist.

Though it does seem this is triggering to some who might have been in the same situation, if so I feel for them.

So, he did find Kurt sexy.

This is just so funny.

Chris must have had so much fun filming this episode.

What a weird way to turn something into a compliment.

they've been calling kurt "toothless" a lot lately. what the heck?! oh well, glee has always been offensive when it comes to insulting one's physical traits.

fantastica wrote:they've been calling kurt "toothless" a lot lately. what the heck?! oh well, glee has always been offensive when it comes to insulting one's physical traits.

But in some strange way it was meant as a compliment.

I guess they can't insult Kurt's body or face anymore, so they go for his small teeth.

i don't think his teeth are that small, but his upper gum line is very high up so it's well hidden from the view. it's just the bone structure and there's nothing one can do about it. i have noticed a couple of other actors (don't know their names) having the same issue. then there's the opposite situation in which some people easily show their upper gum line when they laugh.

While  I do get the complaints about Kurt being "used " , it's been so long that Kurt has had the chance to act as a sexual being, for goodness sake, with Klaine just hugging , Adam not even that, Etc.  that I think fans are starved for Kurt having any frisky fun, even if temporarily.

I can see why the Klainers were pissed though, for once petty meta was thrown their way , and no shit, it stings, DUH!

How weird that Klaine has never been able to do an actual XMAS special as an openly romantic couple.

I went to Tumblr. It's like a battlefield there so many people screaming sexual assault or sending hate to others who reblog Kurt kissing Santa. There is an Unfollow button if they don't like something, there is no need to insult the bloggers for the things they post on their own blogs. 

From the gifs I saw it looks consensual and Kurt is enjoying it a lot until the moment where Santa wants to tie him up.

From the gifs Kurt looks more embarrassed than upset.

I don't see any gifs of him crying or looking traumatised.

I have seen two opinions from ones that have been sexually assualted and they love this scene, they don't see anything triggering and say it is not sexual assualt.
