It appears that Tohru will have the holiday of this episode's title when Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki are headed for New Year's celebrations at the main Sohma house. However, Hana guilt-trips them because this is Tohru's first New Year without her mother. The ending is sweet, and there's humor earlier with Hana and Uo helping Tohru and the Sohmas clean the house, and Shigure teasing his stressed-out editor about finishing his manuscript.
This is the 700th of my shows to receive a B and as good a place as any to note that one reason why this series is generally solid is the use of music, not only the lovely opening and closing themes, sometimes used within the episode, as here, but also the background music that sets a wide range of moods, with some characters, like Momiji, having their own themes.
