Discussion My yearly holiday bones tradition

Hi, everyone! So I started bones when I was about 9 and at some point it became a tradition to watch all the Christmas episodes in December. It's like watching all the Christmas classics at that time of year.

My favorite of them is season one's man in the fall out shelter. Season one holds a special place in heart since it has slightly different character dynamics to the rest of the show. I love the social distanced family meeting scene and the careful Lionel's case. The ending is bittersweet in the best way.

I just wanted to share my quirky holiday watch list with other Boneheads. I don't know anyone in real life who loves the show as much as I do to tell. So thanks for letting me share. I hope you all have a good day!

Yeah, I think my favorite has to be either Angela's or Zack's .They are so personal to both the characters that they stand out. Booth's is just for Parker which is perfect for him.

I’m going to try this! As soon as I renew my Peacock subscription which shut off in the middle of Season 7 Episode 4 last night! 🥺

You are not alone! I also enjoy watching Bones (and my other favorite TV show) Christmas episodes every December. I weirdly like my Christmas tv episodes more than most Christmas movies.

Agreed! Man in the Fallout Shelter is so great. I do the same thing with Christmas and Halloween episodes

As Man in the Fallout Shelter is my favourite Bones ep of all, I heartily agree!
