Season 2: Christmas Party
Michael and Dwight attempt to carry a christmas tree into the office. It is extremely big and does not fit in the room. They cut off the top of it and Michael says that they are going to sell the top of the tree to charity because it is a perfectly good mini tree.
Jim got Pam's name for secret santa and got her a teapot that he knew she really wanted and filled it with inside jokes and got her a card that revealed his true feelings. Michael got a bonus for firing Devon and bought his secret santa a video iPod for his secret santa even though there was a 20 dollar limit. They start the party and turn off all the lights and count down to the lighting of the christmas tree. When the christmas lights come on, everyone is disappointed because Phyllis got tiny mini lights and they can barely be seen.
Secret Santa is going great until Ryan opens his iPod and Michael admits to getting a bonus and buying something great. Then when Michael opens his gift from Phyllis and finds a homemade oven mitt, he gets extremely upset because he thinks that Phyllis only loves him an homemade ovens mitt worth and he gave Ryan an iPod. Michael decides to turn Secret Santa into Yankee Swap. Everyone gets upset because they bought presents for specific people and now random people are getting their gifts.
Because the party is going so poorly, Michael buys 15 bottles of vodka and everyone starts drinking. Kelly kisses Dwight and Angela gets pissed off and goes outside and throws ornaments on the ground and stomps on them. Pam ended up with the iPod but traded with Dwight to get her teapot. Jim is very surprised and happy and shows Pam the inside jokes and she can't stop laughing.
Funny moments:
- Kevin: "Why did you get the tree so big?" Michael: "A, that's what she said...."
- Darryl wanting to be Santa for the day, but Michael wouldn't let him because he doesn't look like Santa.
- Dwight running around with an elf hat and ears all day.
- Jim getting one of Creed's old shirts for secret santa.
- Michael: "Happy Birthday Jesus. Sorry your party's so lame."
Michael's girlfriend, Carol, comes into the office because she is upset with Michael. He had made a Christmas card with a photshopped picture of him with her and her 2 kids. He had put his face in the place of her ex-husband's. She doesn't know what to do about this action and about his proposal, so she breaks it off, leaving Michael with a pair of tickets to Sandals Jamaica
Pam tells Jim that she's been sending secret letters to Dwight pretending to be from the CIA and that his Christmas present is to send Dwight on his top secret mission. Jim declines because he doesn't feel that he should do such things now that he's been promoted.
To get Michael out of his depression, Andy insists on taking him to Benihana and Michael drags along Dwight and Jim. Dwight gets separated from the group and Jim plays pranks on him all night, making him realize that it was wrong of him to decline Pam's present.
Angela kicks Karen off the Party Planning Committee and Pam feels bad for being cold towards Karen since she started working there, so she reaches out to her and the two of them start their own Committee to Plan Parties. Their party is a smash hit while Angela's is boring and unsuccessful. They later agree to merge the two parties, once Pam and Karen realize that Angela is upset.
Michael and Andy return with "new girlfriends" from the restaurant who they think were their waitors, but they are really different girls. Michael then can't even distinguish between the two girls that they do bring back and can't tell which one is "his girlfriend." So he finds his girl and marks her arm with a Sharpie. The girls end up leaving after Michael offers his girl a trip to Jamaica, which she declines, because they say the party blows. Jim consoles Michael by telling him that he'd just had a rebound relationship. He says they can be a fun distraction, but at the end of the day, you're left thinking about the woman you really love. You can tell that he knows that Karen is just a rebound.
Before they leave for the night, Jim tells Pam that he's sent Dwight a message that tells him to wait on the roof for a helicopter to take him to a welcoming party at the CIA. Dwight waits on the roof and receives a text on his phone telling him that he's been compromised and he needs to abort and destroy his phone. So he throws his phone off the roof and leaves.
Funny Moments:
- Michael: "Attention everyone. Christmas has been canceled." Stanley: "You can't cancel a holiday." Michael: "Keep it up Stanley and you'll lose New Year's."
- Michael's talk on bros before hoes.
- Michael listening to the same 30 seconds of a depressing song on iTunes because he doesn't want to buy it.
- Angela stealing the karaoke's power cord.
- Jim playing pranks on Dwight at Benihana's.
These episodes have great moments in them and I only hope that this week's episode has fun pranks and meaninful moments, just like these.
