Well, Santa Claus may or may not exist, but you can relive the origins of this Klaus – and his family – when the CW encores Ordinary People (EP308) tonight. Unless, of course, this Klaus is the Christmas one . . . after all, “He sees you when you’re sleeping” is nothing if not a vampiric-sounding carol.

These aren’t exactly the Ghosts of Christmas Past that are confronting the people of Mystic Falls in Ghost World, but, you know, close enough. (We’ll admit that we wish we could have Lexi show up every episode to discipline Stefan when he gets out of line.) Meanwhile, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come would like to take a break from his usual platform of doom and gloom to remind you that new episodes of The Vampire Diaries are returning in just THREE WEEKS, on January 5 at 8/7c. We’re almost there!

STEFAN IN A TUX. Um, sorry, apparently that’s what stands out in my memory about this episode. But no, really, The End of the Affair has it all: one of my favorite flashbacks, an intense and moving present-day Caroline storyline, the debut of Rebekah, F. Scott Fitzgerald references . . . And you get to relive it all tonight on the CW!

Today is the first of December, which means we can officially say that The Vampire Diaries is coming back NEXT MONTH! Yay! Tonight the CW continues its refresher course with an encore presentation of The Hybrid (EP302). So grab your flashlight – time to head back into the woods and find some werewolves! Or vampires hunting werewolves. Or girls hunting vampires hunting werewolves. Whatever you’re looking for, it’s probably in those woods.

We disagree, Mason. Salvatores wielding sharp objects (see Stefan and stakes, Damon with a fire poker) and a good-looking dude tied up is kinda sexy. Sure, your torture was tragic, and possibly not all that necessary, but we thank you for being in chains or ropes for most of your stay in Mystic Falls. Fan service at its finest. We salute you, Mason Lockwood. That being said… Want to relive the most uncomfortable fireside chat in Vampire Diaries history? (Amazingly, there’s been a few!) And then choke up all over again at Paul Wesley’s Stefan Tears? (They get us every single time.) Tune in to the CW tonight at 8/7c to see how Plan B rolls out. Only 77 days left until Vampire Diaries Season 3!

Last week, we posted our Vampire Diaries Mid-Season Poll and guess which episode is miles ahead of the competition as the favorite Season 2 episode so far? Yup, that would be Masquerade (EP207) and you can catch an encore tonight at 8/7c on the CW. Our colorful cast of characters comes together with one goal: kill Kat. And it is a rockin’ good time, with twists and fake-outs galore, as well as one kick-ass fight scene between Stefan, Damon, and Katherine. And did we mention the suits? Oh, yes.
Get dolled up for the party again:
