Episode Description: On Christmas Day, Rod and Laura from The Alpha Gang head to Max​
 
Yes. Even though Christianity isn't very widespread in Japan, plenty of Japanese people celebrate the commercial aspects of Christmas (trees, gift giving, etc.) In fact, quite a few anime series that head into the winter months have a Christmas-themed episode whether it's the focus or just used as a backdrop like it was here.
 
I thought that this was a cute episode. I liked seeing how excited Spike and Aki were for the holiday season. It made me feel happy. This episode made me feel really sad for Rod and Laura. Sure, they're part of the evil team, but they're terribly home sick and the holiday season made them feel even more sad, especially when they saw Max's parents. It was cute how Aki brought them into the house like that. Though, it's still too bad that she doesn't know about the dinosaurs.

I didn't expect Dr. Z to just forget about a dinosaur card like that, but it was out of control. I had a feeling that it would case trouble for the Alpah Gang. My favorite part was when Rod and Laura really appreciated the gifts Max's parents gave them. It showed how they are polite and appreciative. I could kind of understand Max's feelings since I'm not sure if I would like something school related to be the first present I open for Christmas. Still, he went a bit overboard with throwing the book like that. The battle that they got into went by really fast, but I thought that it had some nice graphics. At least Max, Rex and Zoey kind of understand Rod and Laura a bit better now, hopefully.

Overall, it was a nice episode. It would have been interesting to see this in July for a Christmas in July kind of feeling, but it was nice to see a new episode of Dinosaur King after so long.
