I feel Stan will die in this episode. January isn't it? That's when he's leaving.

Also, yes there should be an extra episode for Christmas Eve, not sure about New Year's Eve as it usually rates quite low so there's no point adding an extra with not many aren't going to watch it. |

I think an hour long episode is usually counted as two, even if it was written as an hour long episode and not just two episodes stuck together.

I think it's two episodes on Christmas Day. One earlier, and one later.

If there's an extra episode on Christmas Eve and two episodes on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, but no extra episode on New Year's Eve, the 5000th episode should be Monday 19th January, which works out well as that's exactly a month before the anniversary. I think using the 5000th episode to kick off the final month of the Lucy storyline would be a great idea, would be a good time to really start all the 30th promotion as well. (I went off Radio Times saying that the episode on 31st October is the 4952nd btw.) |

We don't know what's happening on Christmas Day yet. Won't know until last November/early December. Airing as two episodes or as an hour, it will still count as two episodes.

Christmas & New Years Eve are Wednesdays. We might not see an episode at all.
They didn't, however, have a New Year's Eve episode either years, probably for the reason I said earlier, things rate poorly on NYE so why make an extra episode for then. They'll air one when NYE falls on one of EE's regular days but won't make any special effort. |

Why are people counting? It's just a epaiode. They will find out soon enough when and if they do something to celebrate. There's no need to count it's just a tv show and there's more to life.

When they merge two eps to make a one hour one they usually count them as two separate episodes still, two writers are credited and each half retains its own episode number, which is why they count them as two. The merged ones are often merged at the last minute for scheduling reasons. If an episode is planned to be one hour long from the outset then it will count as one episode.

Also having the 5000th episode exactly a month before the anniversary seems like something they'd want to happen, I wonder if they even somehow planned it that way. |

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. New Year's Day was an hour, written by Carey Andrews, but was counted as two to by Radio Times (as they skipped an episode in their count for the next episode). I'm sure they did the same for Christmas Day. I wish I could provide a link but the earliest episode on their website is 4786, which aired on 15th January.
