Michael: What's this? Deanna: Our holiday schedule. Michael: We have a schedule? Deanna: We're having the "big dinner" with your parents, so my mom wants us to be in Burlington on the 24th. Deanna: She wants us to be there on the morning of the 25th but, your parents want us at your house to open gifts with April. Deanna: So, I thought I'd stay over at my parents house, 'cause my sister will be there and you can drive back to the city so you can be with your family in the morning. Deanna: Then, I'll borrow my dad's car and meet you around 3 so we can spend the rest of the day and have turkey dinner at your place that night. Deanna: On the morning of the 26th, I'll drive back to Burlington and spend some of Boxing Day with my family... Deanna: And you can pick me up in our car later! Michael: Sigh! Deanna: What? Michael: I was just thinking...this is our first real Christmas TOGETHER!
