You're going to get your wish. I saw a couple of the promo pictures from the episode and Kaley is wearing a Santa hat. :)

A Santa hat would be cute but maybe a whole "Santa's Helper" outfit could be cute too....lol....maybe in future holiday episodes....lets say Penny needs extra holiday money and gets a job at the mall or maybe at the cheesecake factory servers would be forced to wear elf outfitsl.....the possibilities are endless....lol....

Well, she is wearing a tight green tank top with a red wrap around open sweater with a Santa hat in the picture. I am sure you will not be disappointed when you see it. :)

Sounds like this will be a great episode. Can't wait! :cool:

Can't wait to see it.

Any episode of BBT is great, but this one sounds better! I was hoping they'd do a Christmas episode this year - I can't wait to see it!

Well as a Holiday themed episode I was slightly let down....thought a better plot would have been something different than Penny dating another guy and having her sleep with him in such a short time period, it really shows the character isn't growing, shouldn't she be a little more selective instead of so much random sleeping around?, her sweetness and caring for the guys especially leonard doesn't match her "looseness"...BUT...the tag scene at the end actually had me laughing so loud it nearly brought me to tears....a classic perfect scene...brillant!

I totally disagree. Absolute classic episode with a classic ending. Great BBT episode.

What do you "totally disagree" about? I said the ending quote "was a classic and had me laughing practically in tears".......It was a Christmas episode....having a plot where Penny has sex with a casual date and is about to pose for nude pictures within a week is kinda the opposite portrayal of how she acts with the guys...that's all I meant.

Plus remember when her friend came to visit and she was repulsed that her friend was so trampy and had sex with wolowitz....sounds like she did the same thing within a week......

I thought it was good, especially at the end with Sheldon hugging Penny.

I seriously want a gif icon of Sheldon going to hug Penny!

Here's a link to the pic of Sheldon huging Penny

I meant one of those video images that moves. I think it would be awesome if someone made one where Sheldon is going to hug Penny. His physical comedy was great!

Loved this episode, Sheldon trying to decide which size gift basket to get Penny and then ending up giving her all the one's he'd bought was too funny. And that weird hug at the end had me laughing out loud.
