Seven.
I only slept for, like, two hours.
Same.
You worried about today?
No, I'm just thinking about
what presents I'm gonna get.
I hope I get a soul.
I hope I get good mental health.
I hope I get a mum
who can regulate her emotions.
I hope I get grandparents
who don't comment on my weight.
I hope Dad remembers
to properly season the turkey.
He won't.
Yeah, he won't.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

Holy night ♪
- Gonna beat you.
- I'm so close!
- I always do.
- No.
You're always trying.
Come on, come on, come on!
- No!
- Yes!
Um are you two getting dressed?
Yeah, in a minute.
Don't take too long.
Everyone will be arriving soon.
She's always grumpy when Grandma
and Granddad are coming round.
And yet she still invites them
every Christmas.
I think you and Nellie
are gonna be best friends. Right?
Yeah? Good boy.
Henry is the cutest dog
I've ever seen.
I need to meet him immediately.
Also, happy Christmas, I love you.
Henry says hi. Say hi, Henry.
Happy Christmas. I love you too.
You can come over
and meet him any time if you want.
I know you've been stressed about today.
If it gets too much,
there's a little guy here who needs hugs.
By "little guy who needs hugs,"
I did mean Henry,
but, actually, that applies to me
as well, so, yeah.
You're still looking
a bit skinny, aren't you?
I thought you were getting
all that mess sorted out.
- Um
- Uh
Oh no, Victoria.
Why did you cut all your hair off?!
Let's get you a drink, hey, Mum?
A beer for you, Dad?
- Yeah.
- Come through.
There'd better be champagne.
None of that cheap stuff from last year.
- Charlie!
- Oliver!
You've gotten so big!
Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
- What did you get?
I got loads of tractors.
What did you get?
I got some socks,
some shoes, a tuner, and
and a PlayStation.
It's okay if you're feeling stressed.
Geoff said that it was completely normal.
We can always try the breathing exercises
that he suggested. You know, the
I'm fine.
Everything okay?
- Yeah, fine.
- Okay. Good.
- Um, come and sit down.

Merry Christmas.

Any roasties, sis?

- How's the turkey?
- Lovely.
Charlie, you need to tell us
about your boyfriend. What's his name?
- Nick.
- How long you been going out?
Uh eight months?
Oh, wow.
What about you, Tori?
Any lovely men in your life?
- No.
- You're not missing out on much.
Straight boys are the absolute worst.
- Let's hope this one turns out better.
- He might not end up being straight.
You're so right.
When did you realize you were gay?
Uh
How's everyone doing down here?
Everything okay?
- Yeah.
- Great, thanks.
- I'm fine.
- We're fine.
Okay.
Stop getting up. They're fine down there.
I I think she's just worried.
Can't I just try and have a normal
- You know Dad's not coming?
- Maybe he will. Maybe he won't.
He won't. He always says
he's gonna pop in, then he never does.
Stop acting like you know everything.
Ever since your boyfriend
became mentally deranged,
you've been acting
like the savior of the Earth.
- Don't say that about Charlie.
- I get it.
He wants attention, he stops eating,
you have to be the hero who saves the day.
Can you just shut the fuck up?

It's a relief you could
come back for Christmas, isn't it?
Can't imagine what Christmas
would be like in a place like that.
Uh they they decorated it for Christmas.
It was really helpful, actually, so
Oh, yeah, of course.
You just hear horror stories, don't you?
White walls, straitjackets, all that.
Did you meet anyone,
like, really crazy in there?
You're not supposed to say that.
We're just happy that Charlie's
back to normal and back with us.
I'm gonna get a drink.
He seems great.
As if nothing ever happened.
I'm sorry, Charlie. Try to ignore.
Not everybody understands
what you've been dealing with.
So I just have to put up
with ignorant comments from family?
We just need to get through the day.
We'll have some tea later, but that's not
for a couple of hours. How about a snack?
Is there a snack
on your meal plan for today?
Stop pestering me about food.
Charlie, why don't we just go
play Mario Kart?
Oliver wanted to
I'm just aware that today has been
a very difficult day for you, Charlie.
You only managed half your dinner.
The dietician said that's a concern.
You're not helping.
You're making me feel worse.
Fine. Well, I'm I'm sorry I even tried.
I'm going to Nick's.
Please don't.
I just can't deal with all of that.
Can't you at least
spend Christmas with me?
You spend all your time with Nick.
He treats me
as something other than mentally ill.
I do too.
Sorry. I
I I'll see you later.

Um

- I don't care. I'm so cold right now.
Can you turn around while I change?
Oh. Uh
Yeah. Um
Yeah, course.
Okay.
All done.
Oh!
You look adorable.
- I look ridiculous.
- Ridiculously adorable.
Mwah! Mm.
Sure you don't wanna talk about it?
I just wanna have a nice day.
Okay.
Let's do that, then.
Come on.
Merry Christmas.
- Good to finally have you.
- Good to be here.
Everyone.
Look out. All right,
I'm gonna take your glass.
Okay. Hello, Henry.
Oh!
Merry Christmas!
suddenly so clear to me ♪
So clear to me ♪
- We've not kissed like that in so long.
- Yeah.
We should probably go back down now.
Yeah.
Good idea.
Yes!
It's gonna go.
Oh!
Nick!
Standing on the side of the road ♪
- Great.
- Toast is good, yeah?
- It's really good.
- Yeah.
That's the deal though.
Oh right. Thought so.
Taxi!
Thanks for nothing,
Space Man. See you in court!
Donna!
Did he text you?
Dad? No.
You know you got a real family
who actually wanna hang out with you.
You know, Dad is family.
I think family
are the people who actually give a shit.
Merry Christmas.
You left me to fend for myself
against our cousins.
Oliver's in a bad mood because no one
will play Mario Kart with him,
and I think Mum
might be willing to apologize.
As wild as that sounds.
I hate Christmas.
You don't.
I hate this one.
I worry about you all the time.
Did you know that?
I get that you're scared
of being a burden.
We just wanna be there for you.
You have to let us.
And not just say you're fine
when you're not.
I just wish we could rewind
and start today all over again.
Well, there's always New Year's Eve, huh?
Hey, buddy. Hey.
Hey, I'm sorry about earlier.
- I just
- Tao
I don't wanna do anything
unless you also wanna do things.
I mean, I think about it,
like, all the time. Not all the time.
A respectful amount of time that one
thinks about one's girlfriend that way.
- I'm gonna stop talking.
- Tao
I also want to do things.
It's just more complicated for me.
I don't really think about
you being trans, if that makes it easier
I know, but
I am trans, and it's a big part of me.
I never imagined finding a boyfriend
and and feeling so safe with him
that I'd even think about, like,
taking my clothes off in front of him.
And when you put your hand there
all my dysphoria just hit me.
It made me feel like
my body wasn't my body, like
like I wasn't there at all.
- I'm sorry.
- Hey.
Don't be sorry.
There's no pressure.
I'm sorry I made you feel like that.
It's okay. I
I know we haven't really
talked about this before, so
It's hard to talk about.
I love you.
I love everything about you.
And whatever you wanna do
or not do, it's okay.
I still wanna be with you.
Come here.
How about while I walk you home,
we can talk a bit more
about what you're comfortable with?
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Let's go.
How are you
Stop it!
- I'm in second place!
- You're in second already!
- No!
- Stop!
- Yes, Oliver!
- I'm gonna do it to you.
Yes, sabotage. Go on!
Stop!

So I've told the others about my pronouns,
but that's kind of it.
I think I just wanna see
how I how I feel for a bit.

Just chill and, like, have fun with it.

Hey.
Want one?

Oh no. How much have you had?
Hardly any.
Just
Me and Tao
We want to have sex.
Oh my God.
Or, I don't know,
do something more than kissing anyway.
You don't seem that happy about that.
I am, but it's a big deal.
I mean, what if he touches me
and I and I just freak out?
If you're not ready, babe,
then you don't have to do anything.
I want to.
I really, really want to. I'm just scared.
I mean, I hate that this is stopping me
from being with him in that way.
Come here.
You trust him,
and he loves you.
And if anything goes wrong
I'll be here for you.
And he'll be there for you.
I know he will.
- I love you.
- I love you.
I'll probably be ready to go
once the fireworks are done.
That's okay.
I'm pretty tired anyway.
It's nearly midnight.
Exactly. Need to recharge.
Thank you.
I'm really glad you're back.
Being without you was
not fun.
Hey.
- How's your night?
- Mm. Better than Christmas.
That's a pretty low bar.
Yeah.
Still, managed a whole night out
without a breakdown,
so therapy must be doing something right.
Maybe it is.
Praise be to Geoff.
Where are your friends?
Off being fun.
And cheerful.
One day you're gonna make friends with
someone you actually enjoy being around.
The only person I care about is you.
That won't be true forever.
We'll see.
Almost midnight. Make sure you've got
someone to kiss! Let's get cracking.
Fireworks?
Fireworks.
Here we go. We haven't
spoken properly since Halloween,
and now you're here
to kiss me at midnight.
I'm not here for that.
I wanted to apologize for Halloween.
I was being so toxic.
Oh.
Okay.
I wasn't doing it
for attention or anything.
I don't really know what I was doing.
Look,
I don't
wanna be just an experiment to you.
Especially when you know you're the reason
I realized I was bi in the first place.
