Christma-Tele-Kwanz-Ukah-Vision Day 4: The Office 2x10

Happy Christma-tele-kwanz-ukah-vision everybody!  This is my celebration of the holiday season through television- one holiday-themed episode a day all the way until Christmas (and for the most part the episodes will be Christmas based.  I've yet to see a kwanza television episode, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open).  Enjoy the spirit of the holidays through the medium of television- make yourself a cup of hot coco, snuggle up in a blanket and immerse yourself in the season.

Jim's thoughtful gift may be repurposed as a neti pot...

The Office “Christmas Party” 2x10

A Secret Santa gift exchange turns into a Yankee swap in this episode of The Office.  Once Michael realizes that he’s not going to get a gift nearly as good as the one he gave, he changes up the party to suit his desires.  Some of the office workers give thoughtful and personalized gifts, such as Jim’s teapot stuffed with inside jokes for Pam, and others whip something together at the last minute, like Creed’s old shirt that he grabbed from his closet and shoved in a plastic bag.  It’s the office as usual, with mix-ups and mayhem as people try to get the coveted iPod in the mix of gifts.  Luckily most of the conflict is sorted out by the end, or at least is forgotten about once Michael breaks the rules and serves some “Christmas Spirit, as in spirits,” and some sweet gifts end up back where they belong.  Oh, and to end the episode Meredith flashes Michael.  Yeah, that’s a little awkward.
