It's a feel-good Christmas issue! On the eve before the holiday, the X-Men split paths to celebrate Yuletide in their own ways. Shopping with Storm! Date night for Jean Grey and Cyclops! Wolverine sulking alone! But how will this night of festivities end for the mutants? Knowing the X-Men, the merry times just can't keep rolling.

Two issues in a row they can't help but point out that Ororo is black. The Stan and Jack cameos were actually pretty nice. Much more so than we get nowadays. The novelty of a Christmas issue worked because that aspect didn't become the sole plot point. The Sentinels' return was really interesting, seeing how the new and improved X-Men dispatch them or are captured.
