* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many consider the premise of the episode to be a perfect opportunity to explore matters of grief and the real-life struggle of breaking the bad news to their kids that a parent isn't coming home (especially during the holidays), but ends up being ruined by the "fairy tale" ending of the climax's events saving the husband and sparing the family the trauma in lieu of a holiday happy ending.

* ToughActToFollow: The general feeling is that compared to "[[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol A Christmas Carol]]" it's not quite as good as its predecessor.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The Androzani Miners, especially /Music/BillBailey's, are generally well liked for their hilarious interactions but are barely in the episode for 4 minutes and leave little impact on the paper thin plot.

Added DiffLines:

* TheScrappy: Madge Arwell is not well liked by the fandom for having an inconsistent characterisation, surprisingly bad performance by the usually hilarious Claire Skinner, and the {{Anvilicious}} moral being centred on her.

* {{Anvilicious}}: It has a thumpingly unsubtle MotherhoodIsSuperior message, especially when the tree people reject males (even the Doctor) as their vessel because "You are weak", but accept females - Madge in particular - as "the mothership". British journalist Caitlin Moran figured that having spent the day corralling the family and making Christmas dinner for everyone, mothers would appreciate the boost "Yeah, we're the ''[[Franchise/StarTrek USS Enterprise]]''".

* {{Anvilicious}}: It has a thumpingly unsubtle MotherhoodIsSuperior message, especially when ranging from the sci-fi angle where the futuristic tree harvestors are outwitted and captured by motherly instinct to the fantasy angle where the tree people reject males (even the Doctor) as their vessel because "You are weak", but accept females - Madge in particular - as "the mothership".

* {{Unfortunate Implications}}: Reg's behaviour as described by Madge (he followed her home every day until she agreed to marry him) is essentially stalking, but is presented as romantic
