Have to say i'm probably not anticipating this as much as I was last year's christmas special but still should be fun, please put all discussion for the episode here.

Pretty much the way I feel too....loved last years....but i wasn't wanting or even expecting a fun Christmas special....but for this I am, I know people don't like the Runaway Bride.....but for me in terms of Christmas Fun that was the the best, and I have a feeling this one will be too....
Matt Smith's the most doctory Doctor of the new series yet, so it should feel more like a "proper Dr Who program" because of him, not less.
The reviews have all been (well, the ones that I've read) very positive, some calling it the best christmas episode yet.
having read the comments that the poster you mention made about Matt elsewhere in this forum, I'd suggest he doesn't actually watch the show (or is amazingly ignorant about it). Although apparently he does claim to know what matt is like "away from the show":p
I'd say it has easily got the most positive advance press of any special. Still, a few people on here will go in to it determined to dislike it, what can you do?
Happy Christmas all, hope everyone enjoys the episode today!:)
I feel exactly the opposite
Really looking forward to the special, and to all the Matt haters - Bah Humbug
This got me ready:

Sometimes they are a let down, sometimes they don't live up to what we hope, sometimes plot elements don't work, but none of the Xmas specials have actually been "crap" imho, thats just pure hyperbole. The only one that comes close really is Voyage of the Damned, and that was more because it veered towards being dull than anything.
eta: sorry forgot to post what i came here to:

Sweet...:)
I thought The Christmas Invasion was really good. I can definitely do without the others, but none of them is worse than the worst of the normal episodes.
Conversely, having just switched my TV on I will say this: whatever happens in Doctor Who, it'll easily be funnier than Ronnie Corbett. As would News 24.
