Catherine Tate was fantastic (likable and sympathetic, yet annoying simultaneously). I must admit I loved the whole TARDIS chase on the M4 (M for "motorway", not "freeway" - doesn't anyone speak "English" these days? ;-) ). I also enjoyed the play back to the Christmas Invasion with the Santas and the Christmas Trees. Though I thought that last year's "whirling Dervish" Christmas tree was much more effective (and much funnier). For the record, I didn't think that the Sycorax were much of an enemy last year either, just men if rubbishy masks.
I did like the spaceship appearing as the Star of Bethlehem, nice seasonal touch. Mind you - the heathen Army blew it up! The brigadier must be alive and well; he always wanted to bomb the aliens.
Next year, they should do a time travel episode, set just over two thousand years ago. Where the Doctor and Martha stop three pilot fish (dressed as Kings) from sucking the latent energies out of a baby in a manger. The scavengers are acting on orders from a fifth member of the Cult of Skaro, Dalek Herod. Title: "How the Daleks stole Christmas".
