How is it everyone who gets on Nora about deciding to throw the Christmas party forgets it's all because of a 3-way call

Cut her some slack! Nora didn't decide to appease the neighbors at the last minute, and all of their so-called mutual friends who had been harassing them to celebrate Christmas when they didn't want to, it had nothing to do with any of them and everything to do with their daughter! She did it for Blair, and only Blair! She was already packing her suitcases and announcing she didn't want to come home from their cruise; so she didn't turn on Luther or cave to peer pressure. She wanted to comet through for her daughter; case closed. Meanwhile, would this show actually have benefited from a sequel? Do you think we deserved one: Maybe the next Christmas Luther tries to skip out of holiday again; but this time HE SUCCEEDS! Luther and Nora actually make it to the tropics and Blair moves out to live with her new husband and adjust to their first Christmas as husband and wife in a two-way plot? What might have been.
