Supernatural (TV series)/Recap/S03/E08 A Very Supernatural Christmas
Season 3, Episode 8:
A Very Supernatural Christmas
In this Christmas-themed episode, Sam and Dean encounter a twisted couple of pagan gods that share a craving for human meat. Flashbacks follow the Winchesters during Christmas 16 years ago when Sam first learned that the supernatural existed and that his father hunted it.
Tropes
- Affably Evil: The Pagan gods are one of the friendliest monsters the Winchesters have encountered, even with the whole capture-human-sacrifices-and-eat-them thing.
- Christmas Episode: Duh.
- Convenience Store Gift Shopping: Justified as their Christmas was thrown together at the last minute and a convenience store/gas station was pretty much the only place open on Christmas Eve!
- Evil Old Folks
- Fingore: Shown onscreen even!
- Gosh Darn It to Heck: In-universe, the Pagan gods frown upon swearing and suggest to an irate Dean that he use "fudge" when he wants to swear.
- Unholy Matrimony
