Respect to the writers for blending comedy and emotion to make a beautiful piece of art. This is the first time I cried while watching this series. Barney's mom dressing up as Santa, writing fake letters, and making sure she lives up to the role of a father teared me up a little. This episode brings out a different side of Loretta.
The segment where the audience is prepared to see Barney's dad and instead it is introduced to James's is clever. Robin and Ted's segment felt a little unwanted, maybe the reason for an 8.2 episode rating. Barney Stinson was amazing as always. He finally comes out of his fantasy world and gives his mom a well needed appreciation.
This episode is a 10 and my favourite so far.
