"The Most Dunderful Time of the Year"
by Michael Scott

This year, to get vacation days off for Christmas, I made everyone write up a description of their holiday plans. I'm planning on compiling them to make a scrapbook, "12 Days of Christmas Vacation." Everyone participated, with the exception of Oscar who refused to write anything up - after I bugged him he eventually just told me he was going to a giant circuit party (must be a gay thing). Anyway, check out what my employees will be doing, while away from me, their manger (get it?).



Day 1 - Andy
M' Fam alternates Christmases between The Bunk (Kennebunkport), Palm Beach (one time I met a guy who bought Jimmy Buffett a drink), and this year's destination: awesome Aspen. I'm not too much of a snow bunny, but I love to get my scenic gondola ride on. Drinking a little hot cocoa on the top of Old Snowy, makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. Also, Dean Cain is a part-time resident-'nuff said.

Day 2 - Phyllis
Bob's daughter is returning to Vietnam (apparently someone called the authorities about her expired visa), so it's just Bob and me. The two of us will probably just split a ham, then exchange gifts. I'm looking forward to giving Bob my present. I got him a lovely massage chair, one that will match our massage couch. I'm hoping this year he'll get me the rabbit fur coat I've had my eye on; with that on I'll be the envy of all the girls in at my bowling league's New Years Eve party! Fingers crossed!

Day 3 - Angela
I'm looking forward to directing a Christmas pageant starring all of my cats. It's no easy task. The auditions alone are a trying process. Everyone wants to be baby Jesus, but not everyone has what it takes! Ash has all the talent in the world and usually gets the honor, but this year he's been misbehaving, licking himself in inappropriate places, so the part is up for grabs. Regardless of who gets it, I'm hoping to make this year's performance extra special...I splurged and bought them all brand new costumes. It's going to be the merriest of all Christmases.

Day 4 - Stanley
I work hard all year long, so this year, like every year, I plan on spending my Christmas break in my recliner. I got a big tin of caramel corn, a bunch of game shows recorded, and Obsessed on DVD - I AM NOT GETTING UP. Teri will pull the dining room table up to my Lazy Boy in the living room for Christmas dinner, and then the family will gather around my feet to open presents. Hopefully I'll get one of those neck pillows this year, that'd be nice.

Day 5 - Meredith
My son, Jakey, and I are gonna enjoy some Christmas spam together, then go our separate ways. I'm gonna hit the town with my girlfriend, Patty, AKA "The Train Wreck" - we call her that because a few years back, she was hit by a train. Christmas is the best day of year to go out and get lucky - no one wants to be alone on Jesus' birthday. Really lookin' forward to it.

Day 6 - Erin
The holidays are soooooo exciting!!!!! Nativity scenes, envying my neighbors' Christmas lights, thinking about what it must be like to be a caroler, making ornaments out of salt dough, dancing in my PJs, eating fruit cake, writing Christmas cards AND thank you notes, listening to the angelic bells of the Salvation Army - I love everything about Christmas! I get stressed out though. Clearly, I have sooooo much to do, there's no way I would be able to do everything on my list (and check it twice) if I work on Christmas Day. So please, please, please, all I want for Christmas is to have the time to do everything I dream of doing. If not, I totally understand though and still wish you the happiest of holidays!

Day 7 - Creed
This year for Christmas Creedy is going south of the border to Ol' Mexico. I'm gonna drop some stuff off, pick some stuff up, spend some time with a little senorita I got down there, get that surgery they say I need, and, if there's time, I'll visit my daughter. It's gonna be a Feliz Navidad!

Day 8 - Jim & Pam
I'm pregnant, so this will be Jim and my last Christmas where it's just the two of us. Even though the baby hasn't been born, we couldn't resist getting a stocking and filling it with toys. We don't know the sex, so it's filled with unisex toys: a ball (not pink or blue, but red), Big Bird rattle (I don't even know what sex Big Bird is), and Raggedy Ann Doll (Jim's idea of unisex). We got a baby bulb too. It says, "Baby's first Christmas", and I added, "In my belly" with a sharpie. We've also taken a photo of our baby with Santa - we went to the mall and asked Santa to hold our ultrasound photo up while we snapped a picture - it's going on the Christmas card.

Day 9 - Kelly
I'm going to kill my little sisters. JK!!!! =-) But they are totally driving me crazy this year, asking me to buy alcohol for them - carrying a box full of Boones is way heavy!!! Anyway, I wanted to go someplace cool, like Orlando, but I basically spent all my money on getting Ryan presents that he can give to me. So anyway, I need to spend some time with my family (barf) and I'm also thinking of spending some time with Ryan's family. I totally hate them, but I want them to LOVE me. Ugh, stress!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 10 - Dwight
I would actually prefer not to take any time off, but I've been told I'm not allowed to work on Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day. Four day weekends disgust me. That means only a three day workweek. Might as well call it a "lost productivity week" instead. And people wonder why this country is in the middle of a recession... Good luck pulling us out of our current financial crisis if you insist that we observe national holidays (other than Memorial and Veteran's Day) AND weekends. Well, I won't come into work, but you can't stop me from studying our price indexes and scouting potential leads in my free time, so joke's on you!!!

Day 11 - Kevin
This Christmas I'm getting in shape! For starters, I'm walking everywhere - to the mailbox, to my car, to the bathroom. When I go to the grocery store and they ask me if I need assistance carrying my groceries out, I'm going to say no and push the cart myself. I've also come up with an incredible workout routine that I can do in the privacy of my home: crunches on my recliner and lots of stretching. Plus, I'm going to hide my remote, so every time I want to change the channel, I'll have to get up and do it manually. I really hope I have the willpower to follow through on that and not just watch E! all the time. It's going to be a difficult but rewarding Christmas.

Day 12 - Toby
My daughter is with my ex-wife's family on Christmas Eve, and then with her stepdad's family on Christmas day, so I get Sasha on the 29th, while they're out of town for their ski trip. That's when I really celebrate Christmas. That morning, Sasha and I will look and see what Santa brought her - hopefully this year it won't be the same thing her stepdad got her again. My neighbors always throw away their Christmas trees right after Christmas, and I'm going to dazzle Sasha with FOUR (fairly sparse) Christmas trees! Once it gets dark, we'll take a stroll down my street and look at all the Christmas lights that haven't been taken down yet. I really treasure this quality time every year.

It made me laugh but it also made me kind of sad for Toby.

Stanley's is so full of win. If I could motorize a recliner, that would be my Christmas.

Who needs bumper cars when you have motorized recliners? *runs him over* ;D
