    HILARIOUS (Mary, Joseph and Larry)

    Have you seen the Christmas tree at Nordstrom in San Francisco? Well, that's the style of tree that shows up in the David household as Cheryl insists on having a tree given the arrival of her parents.

    From there, everything goes into one hilarious situation after another, with Christmas carols (belly laugh), tree decorating . .. and Christmas cookies that Larry accidentally eats, assuming they are animal-themed cookies that are his for the taking.

    After accusing him of "eating the baby Jesus" Larry, being the good Samaritan, finds a group of nativity actors in front of a Christian church on San Vicente, that he hires to.show up his home, hoping to get back in Cheryl's good graces. He and "Joe" who is playing Joseph in the Nativity scene get in a fight, and a Christmas miracle occurs.

    The entire episode is just one laugh after another.

    The Latino cleaners get paranoid over tip amounts. Repeat, latinos get paranoid lol. Extra characters to make up 150, not sure how long this is needed.
