Hey,I wanted to come say merry christmas
before we all leave for the break.

Oh,thank you,lemon.
That's very thoughtful.

Help yourself to a gift.

It's our new handheld photo
scanner/paper shredder.

Oh,well,won't people just
end up shredding their photos?

No,no,it's very to use.

If you want to
pto-scan,you flip the stc.S.

And if you want to paper
shred,you flip the switch to —

I'd like to make
an announcement!

I just want to say that I'm really sorry for
whatever I'm going to do at the party tonight.

And I forgive all of you in advance for leaving
me passed out by the elevator in my own gravy.

Merry ludachristmas,everyone!

Are you gonna do horny
santa again,frank?

That was so funny last
year when I sat on your lap.

Yes,funny.

So big plans for the holidays?

Yeah,my parents are
coming with my brother,

and we're gonna go see
jersey boys on broadway.

And we're gonna go to that restaurant
where they pretend it's mars.

God,you must be a ball
of anxiety right now.

No,I'm really excited.

What are you trying to say,lemon?

That your family's perfect
and you never fight?

No,I remember them arguing a
lot during the gas crisis of '79.

But since carter left office,it's
been pretty smooth sailing.

You got that right.

So is your mom
coming up from florida?

No,I invited her out of
my paralyzing irish guilt,

but her plane was grounded
because of hurricane zapato.

Look at that!

That's where she lives.
Jupiter,the eye of the storm-

So are you alone for christmas?

No,I was gonna drive up to
vermont and surprise C.C.

Sir!

Your mother is here.

She took a bus to atlanta.

She got jet blue to accept an
amtrak ticket. - Tell her I'm —

jingle bells,jingle
bells,jingle bells surprise!

It's your mother. Merry christmas.

Jack...

isn't this the
office you had before?

I thought you were up
for a big promotion.

I am,mother,and there are only two
nicer offices in the whole building.

Only two? I don't like the odds.

I think you better
let that dream go.

Hello,liz!

What the hell was th?

It's a message on my
phone from a friend.

Oh,jackie,please. Who is she?

Her name is C.C.

Is she spanish?

What if she was,?

She's very smart,colleen.
You'd like her.

My thanks to the peanut gallery.

Jack,this coat isn't
going to take itself off.

Ludachristmas is tonight?

Well,I guess I can make it.

I just hope i don't get drunk and sing
christmas carols like I did last year.

Well,I'm not going,because my parents
and my brother mitch are in town.

Mitch is here?
- Yes.

For those of you who
don't know my brother,

mitch was in a skiing accident
his senior year of high school,

and he has what's called
trauma-induced niveaphasia.

Basically he's just stuck in
the day before his accident.

Oh,tomorrow's the big day!

It's gonna be totally rad!

Yeah,mitch,rad!

He thinks it's 1985. So if
you meet him,just be cool.

It should be mentioned that
sexually mitch is very much an adult.

No,it should not be mentioned.

Merry christmas from
sheinhart-universal,everyone.

Merry christmas.
- Thank you!

Merry christmas.

Merry jewish.

Merry christmas.

What is this?

It's a ps-575
photo shredder.

Well,that's not
the christmas spirit.

Christmas is about
gratitude and togetherness.

Sitting with friends and family around a
crackling fire waiting for the owl meat to cook.

Sometimes I don't think you
people understand christmas at all.
