Basic Info<\/strong><\/p>\n Directed by: Harold Ramis<\/p>\n Written by: Jennifer Celotta<\/p>\n Episode Number: Season 3, Episode 10<\/p>\n Where to Watch It: Netflix<\/p>\n Christmas Songs<\/strong><\/p>\n When Angela is being overly assertive about planning the Christmas party, Pam and Karen break off and form their own committee to plan a separate party, which ends up being more popular.<\/p>\n When Pam and Karen extend an olive branch and suggest combining parties, Angela asks if their karaoke machine has Christmas songs. She joins the other party and sings “Little Drummer Boy.”<\/p>\n Christmas Outfits<\/strong><\/p>\n Michael, Kevin and Andy all wear special Christmas ties. Pam has Christmas earrings. Angela and Phyllis both wear Christmas themed lapel pins.<\/p>\n Christmas Food<\/strong><\/p>\n When Michael greets Pam, he says, “Hey! I would like a nice slice of Christmas Pam. Side of candy Pams. And perhaps some Pam chops… with mint.”<\/p>\n Later, Andy takes Michael to Benihana where he asks for a “nog-a-sake.” He explains it’s eggnog and sake and that many places won’t make it because eggnog is season.<\/p>\n At Angela’s party, she has double fudge brownies. This causes Kevin to feel conflicted, saying, “Angela’s party has double fudge brownies… but it also has Angela.”<\/p>\n Toys<\/strong><\/p>\n The office has a box for a toy drive. Michael brings his old bike, passing it off as new despite people pointing out that the tires are worn and the paint is chipping. At the end of the episode, the date he brought to the Christmas party ends up taking the bike.<\/p>\n Cancelled Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n After Michael gets dumped, he declares that Christmas is cancelled. Fortunately, he’s too busy going to Benihana and getting drunk to enforce this and the Christmas parties go on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re counting down the days until Christmas by looking back at Christmas episodes from a variety of TV shows.
