Here's the cliffnotes to tonight's episode. Spoiler alert: Don sleeps with someone.
10:01: Betty's 11 year-old boyfriend, Glenn, from Season 1 reappears as a Christmas tree salesman and screws with Sally's head.
10:04: Gin & Velveeta makes a Christmas party???? Don: "But there's a bonus in it for you." (We need to wait 56 minutes to figure out what exactly that bonus means in Don Draper-speak.)
10:05: Roger's Rorschach art work is making me nauseaous, but I really dig his Dating Game office furniture!
10:06: "Freddy!" "Valerie!" (um, that's Peggy.)
10:08: "Who's Stanley?" (The boy driving Sally to Woodstock in 5 years!)
10:09: How many minutes until Don sleeps with hot new client sitting in conference room?
10:11: Nurse in uniform hammering in hallway. How long until Don is hammering nurse out of uniform?
10:13: Peggy's flippity-do's are so stiff they can be troughs for Roger's martini's.
10:14: Freddy goes to AA to retrieve client after Roger threw him under the liquid lunch wagon.
10:15: Roger: Maalox & a real Christmas Party. (Pinched English accent) "Roger, you've lived your life from a bottomless pocket!"
10:17: Roger: "We need to change the rating from convalescent home to Roman orgy. I want a bartender and a tree. Screw him--I love Christmas!"
10:22: Petting Peggy. "Peggy, I want to be your first." (You are; if you don't count Pete and the baby Peggy pinched out and gave to her sister.)
10:24: Peggy: "You're never going to get me to do anything Swedish people do." (Make meatballs?)
10:25: Secretary: "Come on, you're going to bed."
Don: "You're good in bed."
10:27: Freddie to Peggy: "If you use Pond's you'll get married. If you don't you'll never get married."
10:32: Stanley Stalker calls Sally's house. No answer.
10:33: Don in Acapulco solo mio????
10:34: Roger: "We have gifts, girls, and games!"
10:35: Stanley Stalker & friend egg Betty's house. (Clearly he never saw Season 1, episode 9 where Betty shoots the birds with her rifle!)
10:36: Office Conga-line!
10:37: Client: "Wear the Santa-suit, Roger," stare down.
10:38: White-gloved, pill-box headed Betty, kids, and new hubby return home.
10:39: Santa handing out cartons of Lucky Strikes. Thank you, Santa, I'll take one over here in 2010 while client takes your wife's ass!
10:40: Her room is clean; Sally knows it was Stanley. Watch out-- the seeds have been planted for the beginning of the Woodstock set-up.
10:42: (Dog rolled onto remote; turned Spanish channel on.)
10:44: Did Pete kiss Santa? Why else would Santa-Roger be rubbing his lips? What did I miss while remotely parked in Espana?)
10:48: Cheerios on Don's counter???
10:50: And the winner of "Who will Don nail in this episode is...His Secretary!"
10:52: A romp on the floor with Don and her bouffant is totally buff! Not a hair out of place.
10:56: Freddy to Peggy: "You can't lead him on. That's physically very uncomfortable."
10:57: Morning-after secretarial sex. Don: "Come on in."
10:59: Nothing says Merry Christmas and Job Well Done like buying your secretary's silence with crisp cash.
11:00: Don's Christmas card to secretary: "Thanks for all your hard work. Don (and the two crisp General Grants.)"

Next week: New Year's Eve, 1964!!!!
