There were several mistakes made this episode, see goofs. The main one I saw was that Japan surrendered on April 15, 1945. Germany had not yet surrendered and the war in Europe had not ended. Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945. So for most of this episode the war was still on and the marines, about which this show is based, were not home for Christmas, nor New Years. You can tell this was the last episode by the acting, it's almost as if the part was an after thought, not as much work was put into it as the rest of the series. Overall, this show deserved a better ending. Look up the main characters, the real persons, and see what haworth to them.
