Merry christmas.
- Good.
- My diabolical plot is on hold for christmas.
My heart just melts with the sound of children singing.
Not really.
I'm just tired.
The days are short.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm depressed.
It is time to unveil the tree.
- Hey, rockefeller center.
- Yeah.
- Uh, I've actually been to rock center, And this is nothing like that.
- This is all we have.
- Ugh.
- Nope, it's not "ugh.
" It is office camaraderie.
- It is warm feelings.
- Why don't we talk more about it instead of doing it? - 30, 29, 28 - Why would you start so high? - 27 - 3, 2, 1 - 26 - Ooh.
- Ah.
- You didn't decorate it.
- No, exactly.
- We didn't, because we think It would be better to do it together.
- Everyone.
- Why would you wrap it in a sheet If you're not covering anything up? - Is--is it fake? - Pam.
- Yes! We are unveiling an artificial tree.
That will never die - Yes.
- Like the spirit of christmas.
- And we're supposed to applaud you For you taking a giant diaper off a fake tree? - This was a successful unveiling.
Go back to work! Merry christmas.
- Hello.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry, guys.
I'm not sure I've earned the right To make announcements yet, But whoever is giving me the twelve days of christmas As my secret santa, Please stop.
I can't take it anymore.
My cat killed a turtledove.
The french hens have started pulling out my hair To make a nest.
Please stop.
- What psycho would send that as a gift? - I begged dwight and jim To give me erin for secret santa.
And I decided to give erin the twelve days of christmas.
Bowtie time.
Is it my fault that the first eight days There's basically - Ho, ho, ho! Merry christmas, boys and girls.
It's me, santa claus.
- Hey, santa.
- They finally let you do it.
- Congrats, phyl.
- It's so edgy.
- I have been wanting to be santa for years.
I believe I have the right temperament And the figure to do the job well.
I slipped a note to jim And he said I could do it.
ohIt's been a long journey But I'm santa claus! - So, santa, what can we expect from this party? - It's going to be a very jolly time If you've been good.
- What if you've been bad? - Oh, then nothing but a lump of coal for you.
- What if you've been really, really bad? More "evil" than strictly "wrong.
" - Hey, creed, we covered it.
Lump of coal.
- For the past several weeks, My secret santa has been giving me pieces of a machine That I've been attempting to assemble.
I'm suspicious of this, Because I had the exact same idea For catching osama bin laden.
I would simply send him a different piece each day.
He would assemble it To find himself In jail! - You know, oscar, every time I make this lasagna, People ask me if it's a family recipe.
But reallyI just get the recipe from the box.
- That's funny.
- Is it funny? I thought it was more Interesting than funny.
I think my water just broke.
- That's too funny.
- Oscar and the warehouse guy.
Go, oscar! Go, gay warehouse guy! - Here'sSanta! Hey, little girl, what would you like for christmas? Ooh! You have been a very naughty girl, I see.
- Michael, we already have a santa--phyllis.
- What the hell is going on? Phyllis, jim? Phyllis is santa.
- Yeah.
- Phyllis.
- Yeah.
I told her a long time ago she could do it.
- Take it back.
That is absurd.
- No.
I'm not gonna do that.
- No--no! Jim, come on! - I think she'll do a good job.
- It's insane! A woman santa? Where does it stop? No! Jim, this may be the last christmas that we have here.
Doesn't it make you a tiny bit anxious Me not playing santa? Come on! - I'm not gonna go tell phyllis that she can't be santa.
- Fine.
Then do it anonymously.
Ransom note style.
You can You know what? I have a bunch of letters cut out of magazines in my desk.
You can use those.
If this were russia, yeah.
Sure, everybody would go to one santa.
And there would be a line around the block, And once you sat on her lap And she asked you what you wanted, You would say, probably, "freedom" At which point the kgb would arrest you And send you to siberia.
It's a good thing russia doesn't exist anymore.
Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho! Why pay more to sit next to old tranny claus over there When you can sit on my lap? Phyllis is only pretending to be a man.
I'm the real thing! Sit down on my lap, and there will be no doubt! No, it's not, like, penis-wise.
Hello, little boy! What's your name? - Michael, it's me, kevin.
Phyllis says I'm too big for her lap.
- Oh, I am so sorry that phyllis hates you And hates your body.
But santa remembers a reindeer That was just a tiny bit different as well.
- When can I sit on your lap? - Right now! Come on over here, big boy! There we go! oh, my god.
- It's really comfortable.
what would you like for christmas, little boy? - I don't know.
I-I didn't know you were gonna ask me that.
- Well, what did you think was going to happen? - I didn't know.
Nobody's ever let me sit on their lap before.
- all right, just say some toys, please.
- Can you give me some choices? 'cause I really don't wanna mess up on this list.
- damn it, kevin.
Come on.
- What about if I tell you the things I don't want? - Okay--get off! Get off! Off! oh, jee--god! - I didn't even get to tell you what I wanted.
- Okay, you know what you get? You get a thousand helium balloons attached to you So santa doesn't have to go through this again.
oh! - Awesome.
- Well? - I'm trying, phyllis.
You're santa.
- The only santa.
- That's what I want.
- You promised me this.
Don't make me get bob involved.
- What would bob do? - Never mind.
I shouldn't have said that.
- Does it hurt? - It stings a lot.
- Ehh.
- I keep trying to figure out who's sending me these gifts.
- I know, right? - So far, no one will admit to it.
Is it you? - yeah! Totally.
I admit it.
It's me.
- Oh.
Seriously? - Seriously? are you serious? - Is--what--you-- - Yeah.
Totally serious.
I'm your secret santa.
Busted! - There he is.

- No, no, no, no, no, no! - Is everything okay? - Yep.
Yeah.
Ryan and I are just having some fun.
- Can I just talk to you for a second? - Whoop! Okay, what? - You can't yell out, "I need this, I need this," As you pin down an employee on your lap.
- Okay.
You know what, jim? With two santas in the room, things get ruthless.
- Yeah.
- Do you understand? You forced my hand.
- Okay.
Michael, it's phyllis.
We want phyllis as santa.
- Oh, do we? Do we? Is that what we want? Why don't we take a vote on it? - Great.
- Hey! Okay, everybody.
The office is being pulled apart.
I realize that.
There are traditions at stake.
And there are women-- - who wants phyllis as santa? - No, no, no! Wait! No! There are other choices.
There's information that we-- are you kidding me, kevin? After you almost killed me? - Michael, I had you.
I just wanna try phyllis.
- And if you want michael as santa, raise your hand.
Can I get you some punch? - I--no.
I'll get some punch.
- Oh! - Michael! - Excuse me.
Whoever has been sending me the parts to this gun, I think you sent me a gear instead of a trigger.
- How do you know it's a gun? - What else does it look like? - Not a gun.
- Well, I don't have all the pieces yet.
- Well, unless the missing pieces is a gun, You don't have a gun.
Not a gun.
- In the north pole, I spend many nights alone Tinkering with toys.
So today, let's put a twinkle In old kris kringle's eye.
Let the party begin! - Whoa! - Yay! - I don't ask for much from christmas.
I really don't.
It's not like I am begging people to Buy me diamonds and Brooch pendants.
Oh, buy me something expensive, Or I'm gonna kill myself.
That's not I don't care about that! All I wanna be is santa.
AndYou want to take that away from me, fine.
