I think you're forgetting
how difficult it's gonna be...
:11:02
...having everybody in the house
at the same time.
:11:04
They're family,
not strangers off the street.
:11:07
All they do is argue.
:11:10
Christmas is about resolving differences...
:11:12
...and seeing through
the petty problems of family life.
:11:14
And it's about my mother accusing
your mother of buying cheap hot dogs.
:11:18
And your mother accusing my mother
of waxing her upper lip, and...
:11:23
...then they don't speak to...
- Your mother waxes her upper lip?
:11:25
She has for years.
:11:27
It doesn't show.
:11:30
I don't know, Sparky,
I just have this feeling it's not...
:11:33
I want to have Christmas here,
in our house.
:11:36
It means a lot to me.
:11:37
All my life I've wanted to have
a big family Christmas.
:11:44
It's just that you build things up
in your mind, Sparky.
:11:49
You set standards no family event
can ever live up to.
:11:53
When have I ever done that?
:11:58
Parties.
:12:00
Weddings.
:12:02
- Good night, honey.
- Anniversaries.
:12:05
Funerals.
:12:07
Holidays.
:12:08
Vacations.
:12:10
Graduations.
:12:33
Guess you'll be lookin' at
a nice fat Christmas bonus this year, huh?
:12:36
Word is you're an excellent choice
to be named...
:12:38
...Food Additive Designer of the Year.
:12:40
- Nah...
- I'm not kidding.
:12:43
What's that new thing you got
over there at Food 'N' Dry?
:12:45
The crunch enhancer?
That's a non-nutritive cereal varnish.
:12:49
It's semi-permeable. It's not osmotic.
:12:50
What it does is,
it coats and seals the flake.
:12:52
It prevents the milk from penetrating it.
:12:53
Yeah, it's a beautiful product.
:12:56
I like it.
:12:56
What are you gonna do
with that big bonus check?
:12:59
You're gonna blow it on yourself, I hope.
