I think I loved everything about this episode. I loved how excited Gretchen was about the Christmas Party, I loved that Dawson invited Mr. Brooks even though he's a grumpy old man
. I loved the kiss between Dawson and Gretchen even if it was only supposed to be "traditional", it really showed their chemistry.
My favourite parts were Pacey and Joey. I loved that cute scene at the beginning where Pacey is kind of whining about having to go to a fancy affair, but then ends up being life of the party (so to speak) at their table. I loved that speech he gave Joey about how this was opening a whole new part of her life. That whole scene just makes you melt
He's perfection in that scene. I understand how Joey was insecure, but to run off crying was a little silly IMO.
Pacey is so cute here because you know darn well he wouldn't let her down
And I just want to point out how amazing Pacey looked too. I love the shorter hair on him.
You gotta love the look on Pacey's face when he sees his sister kissing Dawson.
