At Monica and Rachels apartment. Monica, Rachel, Gabby, Ross, and Phoebe are there. Phoebe is looking out the window.

Phoebe: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Ugly Naked Guy is decorating his tree. Oh my God, you should see the size of his Christmas Balls.

[Chandler and Joey enter.]

Joey: Hey.

Chandler: Hey.

Gabriella: (to joey) Hey babe

Joey: (to gabby) Hey (Kiss her). How much did you guys tip the super this year?

Chandler: Yeah, we were gonna give fifty, but if you guys gave more, we don't wanna look bad.

Monica: Oh, actually this year we just made him homemade cookies.

Chandler: And twenty-five it is.

Joey: You gave him cookies?

Monica: Money is so impersonal. Cookies says someone really cares. . . Alright, we're broke, but cookies do say that.

Phoebe: I can see that. A plate of brownies once told me a limerick.

Chandler: Phoebs, let me ask you something, were, were these, uh, funny brownies?

Phoebe: Not especially. But you know what, I think they had pot in them.

Ross: So you guys, who else did you tip with cookies?

Rachel: Uhh, the mailman, the super.

[There's a bang at the door.]

Monica: Oh, and the newspaper delivery guy.

[Joey opens the door and picks up the remnants of the newspaper.

Joey: Oh my God.

Gabriella: What?

Joey: Uhhh, I don't think you're gonna like this.

[Joey shows them the torn-up newspaper.]

Rachel: Ooh, goooosh, ooh, these are cookies smashed in the sports section.

Monica: Oh look, and he did my crossword puzzle.

Ross: Yeah, but not very well, unless 14-across, 'Gershwin musical' actually is bitemebitemebitemebiteme.

...

At central perk. Monica, Chandler, Gabby and Joey are seated at couches. Rachel is working behind the counter.

Joey: I can't believe it's Christmas already. Ya know, I mean, one day your eatin' turkey, the next thing ya know, your lords are a-leapin' and you geese are a-layin'.

Chandler: Which is why geese are so relaxed this time of year.

[Ross enters with several bags from shopping.]

Ross: Hey guys.

Chandler, Monica, Gabby and Joey : Hey.

[Ross approaches Rachel at counter.]

After talking to Rachel ross dit down with the rest of us.

Ross: Hey guys.

All: Hey.

Chandler: What's in the bag?

Ross: Um, just some presents.

Joey: C'mon show us what you bought. . . You know you want to.

Ross: [childishly] OK. OK, this is a picture frame from Ben to my parents, huh.

Gabriella: Cute.
