Tim riffs on the general horror of blended/divorced family holiday gatherings, not knowing who anyone is anymore, and kids arriving manic from their other family's Christmas.
- Holidays are different for divorced families sitting in rooms with strangers, multiple bankruptcies, and uncles' new girlfriends nobody knows.
- Tim doesn't even know which uncle is dating the girlfriend—she introduces herself as Sharon who dates Steve, and nobody can explain what anyone's doing there.
- The saddest part: kids arrive manic from the other parent's house, fling their jackets off, grab presents, and celebrate their second Christmas with a family they barely know.
- When introduced to the other family's kids, Tim doesn't bother learning their actual names because there are too many of them.
- The teenage girls at these gatherings respond to greetings with dead stares and barely audible 'go' sounds, which Tim interprets as pure disdain for the occasion.
