It's practically a mandate for any television series, comedy or drama, to feature a Christmas/holiday-themed episode. This was even the case for a show about organized crime in The Sopranos. As a show about a Christian, Italian-American family clinging on to tradition in an ever-changing world, Christmas is unexpectedly a cherished time for both Soprano families, the blood relatives, and the family made up of captains and soldiers.
No matter the season, Tony often experiences the holiday blues in The Sopranos, but his emotional turmoil increases upon encountering his own Ghost of Christmas Past. In"To Save Us All From Satan's Power," we see a flashback to Christmas 1995, specifically, a meeting between Tony, the late former boss Jackie Aprile Sr. , and Sal"Pussy" Bonpensiero .
Between the constant Christmas music and ubiquitous decorations, the season forces itself upon the public to act and behave a certain way, and that unrelenting push for cheery festivity wears down on those suffering from holiday blues. Lying in bed, Tony yells,"Enough already!" upon seeing It's a Wonderful Life on TV. This hilarious moment displays Tony's Scrooge mentality and our shared disdain for the oversaturation of Christmas-related content.
