Tis the Season

It's Christmas time again, and the Lawrence tradition of holiday drama continues. This year, it's Doug's turn to visit the hospital after a meltdown over Willie and his dreadful beard going to Mexico gives him heart palpitations. Personally, I'd be more concerned about Buddy suddenly being BFF's with the school janitor, but maybe that's just me.
